Pardon the Ravens: 1 (Alec Brno Novel) - Hardcover

"Vividly real and quite compelling... Hruska really knows how to write; fans of legal-thriller stars like John Grisham, John Lescroart, William Lashner, and especially Scott Turow will want to add this fine novel to their must-read lists."
-- Booklist

"A classic legal thriller in the mold of Scott Turow, with a fiery heroine, a monster of a mobster, corporate villains, and a young lawyer fighting to win his first big case. The action is compelling in and out of the courtroom. Taut, lean storytelling with a great finish."
-- Michael Sears, award-winning author of Black Fridays and Mortal Bonds

"With the backdrop of Mad Men-era New York, Pardon the Ravens never fears to get dirty with style. Alan Hruska brings it all--sounds, smells, tastes, and attitude--to life with passion. Bravo!"
-- Cara Black, author of the New York Times bestselling Aimée Leduc series

"Grabs readers and leaves them hanging on for dear life... excellent dialogue and nonstop action."
-- Suspense Magazine

..". an erudite legal thriller"
-- Library Journal

"The plot rockets along"
-- Kirkus Reviews

"Pardon the Ravens by Alan Hruska is a legal thriller that keeps the reader guessing as to who will prevail. Brno is a great character, one you would want on your side at all times. And you've got to admire his girl friend. She's got guts. Hruska, a graduate of Yale Law School and a former trial lawyer, is no stranger to writing or directing. Pardon the Ravens is his third novel. He rivals any of the other authors of legal thrillers."

Praise for Wrong Man Running

"Beautifully written and beautifully imagined, this dark, spiraling, Kafkaesque nightmare might be the best psychological suspense you'll read this year or this decade."
-- Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher novels

"It's like some excellent Hitchcock - 39 Steps, North by Northwest, Frenzy....Perfect late-night reading, as long as you don't mind all the back-loaded twists that pile up toward 3 a.m."
-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"This is a tremendously exciting book, extremely well written (the dialogue fairly sings)... It is as good as the best offerings of Turow, Grisham, and other legal-thriller hitmakers."
-- Booklist (starred review)

"Society novelists don't usually write crime well; crime novelists don't usually understand Society. But Wrong Man Running both amuses and thrills."
-- Jesse Kornbluth, HeadButler.com

"The dark grabs you on page one and just gets darker."
-- John Shannon, author of the Jack Liffey novels
