Review:
"Some writers are notable for their storytelling flair, some for their ability to bring characters to life, some for the lyrical quality of their prose. In John F. Dobbyn, all three talents combine."--Janet Hutchings, Editor-in-Chief, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine
"Readers of early John Grisham and Jeremiah Healy will enjoy Dobbyn's debut [Neon Dragon] for his insider knowledge of the legal system and the defense strategy his protagonists use in court."--Library Journal
"Knight has a sharp wit and a gift of gab that he uses to exploit the enmity between and within the rival gangs...it's difficult to believe that anything terrible could happen to a clever lad flashing so much good old Irish blarney."--Publishers Weekly
"Boston attorneys Michael Knight and Lex Devlin are back with a case that starts local and goes global. Once again, John F. Dobbyn has crafted a first-rate legal thriller that's both topical and timeless."--Linda Landrigan, Editor, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine
