Lee Gruenfeld is also the author of the national bestseller The Halls Of Justice Praise for The Expert: "An adroit performance, with plenty of double-crosses mixed in with the cross-examinations....The characters are deftly presented. Best of all, Gruenfeld keeps the many detailed discussions of encryption balanced with the personal motivations of his cast." --New York Times Book Review "Lee Gruenfeld has elevated the art of writing the techno thriller to the point that readers should be issued oxygen masks...the story rips along so rapidly you don t realize you re learning megabites about computer chip techonolgy...as well as developing insights into human character." --San Bernardino Sun "There s a jungle of technical information awaiting the reader with this wonderfully complex thriller. Gruenfeld has written a comic opera of a novel with four main characters who pretend to be objective about each other when, in fact, they are linked by old grudges and attractions." --Publishers Weekly
