Críticas
'It is the detail and subplots that make Hosp such a gripping writer. He creates real dilemmas for his characters and saves the most touching resolution to the very end... Hosp is growing and developing with each new book.' --Daily Express
`Hosp is a born storyteller, Grisham and Turow have never written as grippingly.' --Daily Telegraph
`Hosp provides a skilful take on the Grisham-style legal procedural, with the inevitable cast of loveable sidekick, and adds a tough, distinctive tone, closer to his fellow Bostonian crime writers Dennis Lehane and Dave Zeltserman.' --Mail on Sunday
`Hosp is often compared to his fellow lawyer-turned-novelist John Grisham, but this is a grittier read than Grisham's and all the better for it. With believable characters and an authentic setting, Hosp has produced a great page turner. --Press Association
`Finn is markedly more individual that the wearying army of Grisham wannabes...
What makes the Grisham mention a little ironic, is he's actually the better writer...
Among Thieves moves that an express train but the real pleasure derives from the character interaction.'
--Daily Express
`With a clever, believable plot, Among Thieves is one of those thrillers that propels the reader through to the last page, leaving them thoroughly exhilarated' --Waterstone's Books Quarterly
`Accomplished legal thriller writer' --The Bookseller
Reseña del editor
On the night of the St Patrick celebrations in 1990, some of the world's most famous and valuable paintings were stolen from Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. They were never recovered, and there were no clues as to their whereabouts - that is until now. When Boston attorney Scott Finn takes on well-known thief, Devon Malley as a client, he gets much more than he bargained for. Not only is he asked to care for Devon's teenaged daughter, Sally, while Devon awaits bail, but his investigations into what he believed was a case of petty theft, lead him to the underworld of Boston's organized crime gangs, links with the IRA and the realization that he may be close to solving the mystery of the stolen paintings all those years ago. But an Irishman who, at nine years old, saw his entire family murdered before his eyes is determined to avenge their death. His commitment to the cause is frightening and unrelenting, and he will never give up until the job is finished . . . 'A knock-out; Grisham with a passion, even a touch of the great Michael Connelly thrown in . . . Crackles from the first page and doesn't let up for a second' Daily Mail
