The Adversary

Reviews

A disturbing look at the dark side of human nature that is powerfully written and beautifully told The story told here is truly beyond the imagination for even the best crime writer The mesmerizing true crime tale of an apparently ordinary man whose life mutates in the space of a few blood-splattering hours from the realm of Renoir to that of Stephen King He’s the best kind of writer, not just a bestseller but a man who is not afraid to leave the comfort zone of his desk, go out into the world, take risks, and get his shoes dirty Unputdownable... Imagine a sleek, twenty-first century version of In Cold Blood A triumph of insight and concision, brilliant both as a psychological study and as the portrayal of a community A masterpiece... It's a level of moral discomfort almost without equal in literature Savagely intense and utterly compelling... This is his paciest and cleanest-cut book...few books could better deserve a second chance to find new readers The Adversary is exactly the idea I have of a modern novel: struggling deftly with facts and with itself An absolutely stunning piece of work, totally involving and unforgettable Expand reviews
