Reviews
"One intense courtroom clash after another ... An intelligent and gripping thriller."-The Washington PostonDegree of Guilt "A chilling success ... Richard North Patterson is one of the best in the business."-TimeonEyes of a Child "A shrewd, consistently baffling murder mystery with overtones of New England gothic."-Entertainment WeeklyonThe Final Judgment "[An] intense courtroom drama ... As startling as the bang of a gavel."-PeopleonSilent Witness "Every now and then ... you come across a thriller so important that it absolutely demands to be read. This is one."-The Times(London) onExile "Patterson has redefined himself as a writer willing to take risks."-USATodayonThe Race, "A compelling and gripping read. Patterson explores the very real pressures of the loyalty, honor, and duty that accompany military service. It's a thriller that strikes at the heart of every soldier."-Senator John McCain "As always, Richard North Patterson demonstrates an uncanny knack for selecting a topic as hot as tomorrow's headlines, but the pleasures of this book far transcend its gripping and timely subject. In the Name of Honor is a family saga, a courtroom drama, and also a rare kind of love story. There is romance, of course, but also an exploration of other kinds of love-of country, comrades, ideas. This is Patterson's best book yet."-Geraldine Brooks "No one knows the courtroom better-no one writes the courtroom better-than Richard North Patterson. In the Name of Honor is a riveting tale of love and betrayal, truth and its role in a search for justice, war and its devastating effect on combatants and their families. As always, Patterson's plotting is brilliant and nuanced, his characters richly developed, and his prose is as elegant as it is gripping."-Linda Fairstein "Stephen King, in one of his novels, has his main character reflect that 'Patterson and DeMille are probably the best of the current popular novelists.' I could not agree more, and Richard North Patterson has done it again with In the Name of Honor, which will be very favorably compared to The Caine Mutiny."-Nelson DeMille "One intense courtroom clash after another ...

This is one."-The Times (London) on Exile "Patterson has redefined himself as a writer willing to take risks."-USA Today on The Race , "A powerful and devastating study of war and its aftermath on those who fight… Patterson long ago established himself as one of the nation's best writers of serious thrillers, and his latest novel burnishes his reputation as the thinking reader's best friend."-Richmond Times-Dispatch "Bestseller Patterson explores the concept of honor-and how men and women can sometimes embody and sometimes blacken this lofty concept-in this riveting legal thriller…. Superior genre fiction from a writer at the top of his game."-Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Patterson's insights into PTSD are fascinating but never interrupt the story's flow to its explosive ending, and his courtroom drama is as intensely engaging as the most action-filled thrillers."-Library Journal (starred review) "Patterson runs a taut ship in the courtroom, and his crafty dissection of the problems of traumatized veterans returning home will have older readers fondly recalling Anatomy of a Murder."-Kirkus Reviews "In The Name of Honor is an absolute humdinger of a murder mystery, with a you-will-never-guess twist that I greeted with pure envy. This is a beautifully crafted book that offers not merely unrelenting suspense, but a close look at the dysfunctions of military justice and of one particular family." -Scott Turow "A compelling and gripping read.
