ENDORSEMENTS

 Jeremiah Healy (author of The Only Good Lawyer and (as "Terry Devane") A Stain upon the Robe) writes: "Under Oath is an outstanding novel, and I don't mean just the clever, twisting plot and the deep, credible characterizations. Elmore Leonard develops the stories in his street thrillers through dialogue; Margaret McLean manages to do the same in this legal thriller through the testimony of witnesses at grand jury and trial. One of the finest courtroom dramas I've read in the last ten years."

 M. Diane Vogt (author of the Judge Wilhelmina Carson legal suspense series) writes: "Under Oath gives us a rare glimpse inside the courtroom where Margaret McLean's experience as a prosecutor provides frightening realism not often found in fiction."

 Perri O'Shaughnessy (author of Unlucky in Law and Motion to Suppress) writes: "A gritty look at townie justice by a new author who really knows the law and its wayward ways. Anyone looking for a fresh look at local justice with all its twists and turns will enjoy Under Oath."
