"Lachlan Smith does a masterful turn in Fox Is Framed. A sharp-edged legal thriller with the deep emotional undertones of family drama and tragedy."--Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times bestselling author of Robert B. Parker's Blind Spot "This book never took me where I expected it would. The story is smart, complex, and original ... The characters got me hooked, the legal story got me to stay, and the originality of the telling stuck with me when I was finished."--Mystery Scene "The complex family dynamics that Smith explored in his earlier books only become more intriguing in his superlative third Leo Maxwell mystery ... Smith is masterly in creating realistic courtroom scenes, including the subtleties of witness examination, and, even more impressively, enhances the trial with the human drama of the Smith family."--Publishers Weekly (boxed and starred review) "Engaging ... Smith elegantly blends courtroom suspense and family misfortune without ever slipping into melodrama; the line Maxwell family members walk between innocence and guilt becomes more blurred with every step and turn of the page."--Library Journal (starred review) "Some of the sharpest courtroom cut-and-thrust since Presumed Innocent."--Kirkus Reviews
