About the Author
Reviews
"CASE HISTORIES is so exuberant, so empathetic, that it makes most murder-mystery page-turners feel as lifeless as the corpses they're strewn with."--Jacqueline Carey, New York Times Book Review
"Grabs hold of the reader and doesn't let go. . . . CASE HISTORIES winds up having more depth and vividness than ordinary thrillers and more thrills than ordinary fiction."--Janet Maslin, New York Times
"Not just the best novel I read this year, but the best mystery of the decade. . . . I defy any reader not to feel a combination of delight and amazement."--Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly
"One of the most enjoyable books in a long time."--Leslie McGill, Kansas City Star
