Line of Vision » (REISSUE)

David Ellis's previous novels include In the Company of Liars, Jury of One, Life Sentence, and Line of Vision, for which he won an Edgar Award. An attorney from Chicago, he serves as Counsel to the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives.

Marty Kalish has been accused of murdering his lover's husband. He had a motive. He was at the scene of the crime. He manipulated evidence to hide his guilt. He even confessed. But that's not the end of the story. That's only the beginning.

"The best suspense novel I've read in a while...surprising." (James Patterson)

"Wicked...A twisty spellbinding story." (Publishers Weekly)

San Francisco Chronicle

After just about every permutation of the legal thriller has been served up by the likes of John Grisham and Scott Turow, Ellis arrives with a surprisingly fresh take on the genre.... The resulting novel crackles with unexpected twists and some nifty surprises -- it's like Patricia Highsmith with an extra shot of adrenaline.
