About this title

Review:

"The fluidity of his writing, his superb characterisation and intricate plot combine to ensure a compulsive read" (Time Out)

"Patterson is a fluid prose writer clearly at his best in the taut courtroom scenes... Eyes of a Child is a gripping story... a well crafted book that deserves to do well and almost certainly will" (The Times)

From the Back Cover:

"GRIPPING...THE INTELLIGENT READER'S JOHN GRISHAM."--CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

A man has been found dead, a gun still wedged in his mouth. It looks like Ricardo Arias killed himself...but the physical evidence tells a different story. The police investigation turns up all sorts of troubling data--a bitter estrangement between Ricardo and his wife, Terri; an ugly custody battle over their six-year-old daughter, Elena; charges of child molestation. And before long there's a murder suspect: San Francisco defense attorney and political hopeful Christopher Paget.

"MASTERFUL. EYES OF A CHILD DAZZLES...RIGHT UP TO THE VERY END."--SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

But where's the motive? It could be that Paget is Terri's new lover. Or that Paget's own teenage son is the one who's accused of abusing Elena. But a series of long-hidden secrets--on both sides of the case--are slowly rising to the surface...and threaten to explode in the courtroom, where the final verdict will be delivered. Where the truth about what really happened to Ricardo Arias will either be revealed--or buried for good...

"A TAUT NAIL-BITER...[THAT] PROVIDES THE THRILL OF A LEGAL HUNT."--USA TODAY
