It builds slowly and relentlessly, developing character and plot, creating intrigue...fresh, original, and without cliche, this is a cerebral, contemporary thriller that ends with a wrenching twist followed by a supple extra turn. <br>- Boston Herald <br> A superbly edgy read...fraught action scenes worthy of the best heist movies...in Paranoia, Finder mines a rich vein of scary entertainment...grab[s] readers by their throats the way The Da Vinci Code did. - New York Daily News <br> Page-turning perfection...dead-on dialogue...palpable tension...Finder has that rare knack for instantly pulling the reader into the story and then tops that with surprises within surprises. - Cleveland Plain Dealer <br> Terrific...riveting...practically redefines the high-stakes, high-tech thriller.

What raises it above...is its author's verbal and satirical flair. - Wall Street Journal <br> Paranoia is an incredibly clever novel. I love Joseph Finder's writing, and this time, he surpasses himself with some of the best dialogue and characterizations I've read in a long time. The plot is reminiscent of a classic Cold War spy story, but it's set in a modern, high-tech corporation, complete with espionage, moles, double agents, and the spy who wants to come in from the cold. If there's such a thing as an instant classic, this is it. -Nelson DeMille, author of Up Country <br> One of those all-too-rare but absolutely unforgettable books that rewrites the rules for contemporary thrillers. Finder's loyal fans have long known what a terrific writer he is, but with Paranoia he has written what is destined to be a classic of suspense fiction. Paranoia is a knockout-a fresh, original, and compelling novel that is impossible to put down. <br>-Daniel Silva, author of The Confessor <br> The real thing-a sleek, hip, and fast-paced thriller that gets its hooks in you from the very first page. It's aterrific combination of nail-biting suspense, great characters with depth and real heart, and a fresh, original voice. -Lisa Scottoline, author of Dead Ringer <br> Combines a fresh voice, terrific characters, and high-octane suspense. Finder catapults himself into the front ranks of contemporary thriller writers. -Harlan Coben, author of No Second Chance <br> Imaginative and original, this is a gripping thriller with three characteristics too rare in the genre: humor, heart, and good writing. - Detroit Free Press <br>
