He's a master at making the reader feel every emotion, jump at every shock and squirm with every twist that Danny must overcome.

"The Boston Globe" Lock yourself in a room with "Suspicion "and don t come out until you ve read every last word. Completely original, emotionally satisfying, expertly twisted, and genuinely entertaining. "Suspicion" is the thriller to read this year. I loved it. Lisa Gardner Joseph Finder has always been out there on the front edge of things. With "Suspicion" he does it again, giving us a novel that is as timely and cognizant of contemporary society as it is a startling seat of the pants thrill ride.

It gets my vote. So many twists and shocks. It kept me reading all night." R.L. Stine "Finder fans as well as devotees of action-packed suspense have a great read ahead. The taut pacing, staccato chapters, and ingenious plot, especially Finder's characteristically creative use of digital surveillance techniques, guarantees a literary thrill ride." "Library Journal," starred review "There are many authors who take a reader 'slowly into that good night.' However, the real genius knows how to create the ultimate lead-in. They are the wordsmiths who can, in one page or one paragraph, grab the reader's attention and never let go...A true genius wordsmith, this is one author who has created solid suspense gold."
