Reseña del editor

"Lawyer-turned-novelist Erika Holzer's Eye for an Eye is a disturbing look at street gangs, urban violence, the criminal justice system-a story of vigilantism growing out of the ongoing American obsession with law and order. Impassioned characters, sharp terse writing-a sort of American Clockwork Orange. Highly recommended."-Nelson DeMille. "Blistering."-Ed McBain, author of Downtown and The Kiss"The opening of Eye for an Eye rivals in graphic horror...[Hitchcock's] Psycho...Mrs. Holzer, a lawyer and a experienced journalist, hurtles at breakneck pace from one scene of cunning violence to another as she explores the ethics of frontier justice transposed to the urban battleground...A page-turner with a well crafted, ingenious plot...and an O Henry twist."-Priscilla L. Buckley, National Review"Eye for an Eye is a passionate dramatization of the horrors of violent crime from a modern woman's perspective. Thought-provoking and intense, the novel is an intelligent look at the aftermath of violent crime, the appeal of vigilante justice, and the ultimate failure of such 'justice.'"-Leonore Fleischer, Publishers Weekly"Erika Holzer's gripping new thriller...dedicated to the victims of crime, dead or alive...is a brutal, bone-chilling view of the phenomenon of vigilante justice...No ordinary thriller, Eye for an Eye is thought-provoking, spelling out the dangers of vigilante justice."-Helle Bering-Jensen, Washington Times"Everything in Eye for an Eye propels the reader forward as relentlessly as a coiled spring proceeding inexorably toward a crashing climax. [The novel]is very Aristotelian...a very Randian novel."-John Hospers, Liberty Magazine"Nowhere is the failure of bureaucratic law better explained than in the plot and theme of Eye for an Eye."-Robert Cheeks, Intellectual Conservative
