Reviews
Entertainment Weekly on REASONABLE DOUBT
Riveting... Absorbing legal skirmishes and sharply drawn minor characters — including enough self-absorbed art creeps to tempt any reader to philistinism — combine to make Reasonable Doubt as crisply written and ingeniously plotted a courtroom entertainment as readers...
The New York Times on TERMINATION ORDER
An American writer goes Len Deighton one better… provides plenty of action, but Mr. Friedman has bigger things in mind…. This looks like one of the best spy stories of the year.
The New York Times on INADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE
Fascinating… every bit the nail-biter you’d expect from the author of Reasonable Doubt
The Jersey Journal on WALL OF SILENCE
A gripping tale of violence, death, secrecy, and high-level manipulation… a well-built and well-written story.
Entertainment Weekly on GRAND JURY
Friedman's Grand Jury turns a presumably simple case of heroin possession into a near-epic saga of greed, deceit, and injustice. Read the full review
Publishers Weekly on Philip Chase
A clear case of a real pro struggling against the limitations of the thriller genre
