"I'm thoroughly entertained by reading a Tony Valenti legal drama. Neil Turner has developed such an interesting character through his talented writing style: short, clipped sentences and italicized thoughts are so effective and spot-on. I think he pa"

| It seems to me that one of the critical elements in making a long-running legal series “must reading” is the evolution of the characters. Relaxing in nice comfy chair to read one of Sheldon Siegel’s Mike Daley & Rosie Fernandez novels feels a little ...more | |

"This book seemed a little slower than the others I’ve read. They are still excellent. Full of excitement."

Jan Jones's review
of
A House on Liberty Street (The Tony Valenti Thrillers #1):
"Thriller you can’t put it down.
It’s a law thriller that keeps you turning the page. Well written and worth the read. Give it a try." |

“deeply into pile carpeting that threatens to swallow us whole. A burnished steel FTW logo stretches across the wall with the tagline Feeding the World just below it. Black-and-white photos of basic foodstuffs dot the walls—bushels of maize and soybeans, fields of grain. Feeding the world, my ass, I think as we’re shuttled toward a meeting room. I’ve done some reading up on these folks. FTW is a commodity-trading firm that works to manipulate the futures market to drive up prices. There seems to be nothing that the world’s bankers believe they shouldn’t be free to exploit, including food staples. I imagine that in their perfect world, bankers would pocket a penny or two with every bite.”

“To realize that one walks the earth alone is at once profoundly terrifying and profoundly liberating. If nobody else cares, I don’t have to, either. There are no longer expectations to live up to, no appearances to keep up, no possibility of continuing to fail myself and others.”
