Review:
Bookreporter.com"Stephen J. Cannell's "At First Sight" is arguably his best work to date -- enthralling, engrossing, addicting. As fresh and new as today's headlines.... "At First Sight" is yet another triumph for Cannell, who, even at this late date in his career, continues to handily trump his own best work."
