On Brooklyn's treacherous streets, having a conscience can be a dangerous commodity... When Andrew Giobberti, exiled from Homicide to Appeals, suddenly finds himself in demand in the prosecution of the horrific murder of a beloved neighborhood grocer, he cannot know the hornet's nest of lies and double-dealing he will uncover. With the newspapers and the powers-that-be insisting Gio convict the supposed perp at any cost, his capacity for fair play and diligence leads him to a shocking conspiracy that reaches all the way to the top - and in a world founded on corruption and cover-ups, this fine-tuned sense of justice could just cost him his life....

From the Back Cover:
"Rob Reuland writes beautifully--about sadness and cities and injured dreams. First with Hollowpoint and now with Semiautomatic, he has renewed my faith in the health and future of the urban crime novel." -Dennis Lehane
"Semiautomatic is a novel-lover's treat. It is one of those very rare books that manages to be smart, compelling, witty and important all at once. Rob Reuland skips the by-the-numbers nonsense of the generic legal thrillers and instead offers a fully-detailed world of vivid characters and a trouble court system, and he reminds us why we find stories about the law so fascinating." -David Liss, author of The Coffee Trader and A Conspiracy of Paper
"Semiautomatic shines with fantastic imagery, sharp dialogue, and sparkling detail. An engrossing, morally complex winner from Robert Reuland, one of crime fiction's most gifted young writers." -George Pelecanos

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A gripping and sophisticated legal thriller of murder, robbery, political intrigue, conspiracy and courtroom drama.Having resolved an explosive case in a controversial manner, Andrew Giobberti has been exiled from the high-powered DA's Homicide Bureau to the dusty decay of the Appeals Bureau. But the powers that be want this brilliant, difficult prosecutor back in the courtroom.They're counting on Giobberti's courtroom brilliance to ensure a guilty verdict for murder suspect Haskin Pool. It seems a straightforward enough case - a robbery gone bad, leaving a well-loved grocer in a pool of his own blood. The press has poured a lot of ink on the story, pressuring local police to get a killer behind bars. But Giobberti has a habit of uncovering nothing but the whole truth. It doesn't take long for him to realize this case stinks. There's a conspiracy to convict that reaches well up the political hierarchy and it's fully expected that Giobberti will play a key role in this seamy drama.
