"The Jury Master is a smart and savvy story with more muscle than the average legal thriller. Combining an astonishingly good plot, perfectly drawn characters, and intensely sharp writing, Robert Dugoni has put the thrills back into genre."
Nelson DeMille

 

"The most impressive thing about this grippling legal thriller is what it doesn't do. Dugoni, a lawyer who coauthored a nonfiction book about an Idaho worker brain-damaged in 1996 by cyanide fumes, opens his debut novel with a wrongful death attorney in San Francisco..."
Publishers Weekly

 

"Dugoni is well out in front...a writer to watch."
Kirkus Review, January 15, 2006

 

"This thriller is reminiscent of the early John Grisham and should easily find its way onto the best sellers lists."
Library Journal

 

"A rapid-fire fictional debut."

 

"The action keeps coming, so omnivorous thrill seekers who favor Martine and Grisham may want to give Dugoni a look."
Booklist, February 2006

 

"Scott Turow started it, & the ball started rolling at a furious pace with John Grisham until today legal thrillers are the in thing. Each year at least 50-60 lawyers enter the fray, & the majority of them fizz away soon. But among the lot we got at least three classics -- Stephen Carter's The Emperor Of Ocean Park, Margaret McLean's Under Oath & Kermit Roosevelt's In The Shadow Of The Law easily the best legal thrillers I read over the last three years. When I finished reading The Jury Master, I was sure of one thing, this is going to be the legal thriller of 2006, & Dugoni sure is gonna give them all tough competition.

With tense courtroom action & intense legal suspense The Jury Master proves, to put it mildly, to be an astounding read. Through the protagonist, the suave, debonair attorney David Sloane, the author delivers a punching legal thriller." 
--Narayan Radhakrishnan, RebeccasReads.Com Sr. Associate Reviewer

"The Jury Master is a who dunnit's delight, especially since the 'who' in this case involves not a single individual but several, all for varying reasons with the last one that of revenge. Author Robert Dugoni has provided the murder-mystery genre with a story to be remembered ? a standout in a field clogged with other quite competent new authors, none of whom are able to offer such compelling suspense." 
--Who-Dunnit.com

 

"Dugoni raises the page-turner to a new level, giving us more suspense than the DaVinci Code ever hoped for, and far more depth...Robert Dugoni follows in the footsteps of John Grisham and Michael Crichton, and if he continues in this vein, his books could well become an enduring literary phenomenon."

--RebeccasReads.com

 

"Dugoni keeps THE JURY MASTER moving quickly by alternating amongst his various plot threads while bringing the principals ever closer to each other, reaching a conclusion and a relationship that is totally unexpected. Whether he will bring back any of the surviving characters for another go-around remains to be seen. But what THE JURY MASTER demonstrates is that, in one book, Dugoni can create enough memorable characters and action scenes to fill three. You can't ask for much more than that."

--Bookloons.com

 

"This is a terrific thriller that is made plausible by a wonderful cast who seem very real especially the attorney and former Fed on the run and their persistent adversaries. The storyy line is action-packed from the moment that Sloane wins his latest case and never slows down until the final get together in Seattle with a Bird poster and Sam the dog."
