On your shelf of legal thrillers, move the Grishams aside and make room for Margaret McLean. She's got all the knowledge of an insider and --more important--all the skills of a great story teller. She'll take you into the offices and holding cells and the courtrooms, and you'll believe every detail and nuance. Then she'll start to heighten and tighten and twist and turn, and you won't be able to put the book down.

Under Fire is the real deal...an authentic, fast paced, and suspenseful read.

Passionate, believable, well-written --don't miss this riviting debut. I love finding new authors, and Margaret McLean is right up there with favorites John Lescroart and Linda Fairstein.

Under Fire is a riveting read. I know the word riveting is hackneyed. Maybe I should say sticky, because I couldn't put it down. I was up until two this morning finishing it.
