"Single mother Annie Laird makes a huge mistake when she joins the jury at the murder trial of mob boss Louie Buffano. Immediately, Annie is contacted by the "Teacher", a Buffano lackey, who makes it clear that her life, and that of her son Oliver, depend on her saying two "Not Guilty". And so begins Green's masterfully manipulative thriller, a gem of deft plotting given added lustre through its rich, if not wholly cohesive, characterizations. The plot, jittering from one brutal, clever twist to the next, will keep readers in a cold sweat". - Publisher's Weekly "This novel is less a courtroom drama than a gripping psychological cat and mouse game. It should be in very high demand in public libraries". - Library Journal
