Synopsis
Peter Scattergood is a Philadelphia Assistant District Attorney, a relentless and clever prosecutor who has just landed the biggest case of his career--a double homicide, involving the mayor's nephew and his mistress. This is not the best time for his wife to walk out on their crumbling marriage and to disappear. As Peter tries to find his wife, and to build his case, he is drawn into an affair with an alluring stranger named Cassandra, a woman whose greatest skill is arousing suspicion. Break and Enter is an intense, intricate thriller about the thresholds we must cross in order to get at the truth.

About the Author
Colin Harrison is the author of six novels, including The Finder and The Havana Room. He lives in Brooklyn, New York with his wife, writer Kathryn Harrison, and their three children.
From Library Journal
Written in the tradition of Scott Turow's Presumed Innocent ( LJ 6/1/87), Harrison's intelligent, relentlessy gripping first novel relates the struggles of an honest man awash in a sea of deceit and corruption. Already experiencing enormous psychological stress, assistant district attorney Peter Scattergood is assigned a high-profile double-murder case involving the mayor's nephew. As personal and professional strain increases, so does Peter's suspicion that the mayor is orchestrating a massive cover-up. Harrison's sharp plot mechanics exhibit none of the teething problems normally associated with debut suspense novels, and his ingenious use of a powerful, recurring subtext referred to in the book's title will please even the most discriminating reader. Vastly superior to Robert Ferrigno's recent The Horse Latitudes ( LJ 2/1/90). Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 12/89.
