Stray Bullets
PRAISE FOR
OLD CITY HALL
“Loved it! Rotenberg’s
Old City Hall
is a terrific look at contemporary Toronto.” —
Ian Rankin
“It’s clear that
Old City Hall
has enough hidden motives and gumshoeing to make it a hard-boiled classic.” —
The Globe and Mail
“The book has wowed pretty much everyone who’s read it…. A finely paced, intricately written plot is matched by a kaleidoscope of the multicultural city’s locales and characters.” —
Maclean’s
“Breathtaking … a tightly woven spiderweb of plot and a rich cast of characters make this a truly gripping read.” —
Jeffery Deaver
“Clever, complex, and filled with an engaging cast of characters,
Old City Hall
captures the vibrancy and soul of Toronto.” —
Kathy Reichs
“Robert Rotenberg knows his Toronto courts and jails, he knows his law, and he knows his way around a legal thriller.
Old City Hall
is a splendid entertainment.” —
Andrew Pyper, author of
The Killing Circle
“Twenty-first-century Toronto is a complicated place, rife with the kind of paradox and contradiction that lends a city depth and complexity. It’s a good setting for sinuous legal machinations to unfold, steeped in that elusively desirable literary quality we call character.” —
The Toronto Star
“Rotenberg is Canada’s John Grisham.” —
Telegraph-Journal
PRAISE FOR
THE GUILTY PLEA
“A compulsive page-turner…. His humanizing of seemingly obvious killers raises doubts in the reader at the same pace as it does for the jury.” —
Maclean’s
“Not since
Anatomy of a Murder
has a novel so vividly captured the real life of criminal lawyers in the midst of a high-stakes trial.” —
Edward L. Greenspan
“[
The Guilty Plea
] has local buzz galore.” —
National Post
“Rotenberg juggles the many plot elements with aplomb, unveiling each new surprise with care and patience.” —
Quill & Quire
“The book’s page-turning twists and relatable, personable characters are sure to thrill mystery lovers and lit elitists alike.” —
Precedent
“Rotenberg has crafted an idealistic but gripping—and distinctly Canadian—portrait of how justice does and does not get done.” —
The London Free Press
“Rotenberg’s … courtroom drama is terrific.” —
Ian Rankin
“A great book for summer.” —
The Globe and Mail
“It’s a solid whodunit.” —
Winnipeg Free Press
