About this title

Review:

Writer Scott captures the feel of a small Minnesota town with the skill of someone who has lived in such a setting. Strong Conviction is filled with scents, sights, and sounds to tantalize the reader, making the town itself one of the leading actors. The characters leap from the page as the reader devours each page. In Strong Conviction author Scott has produced a first class shocker fully developed with crystalline and lively dialogue, adroit pacing, and commanding characters who find themselves enmeshed in extraordinary and often deadly circumstances, with the right mix of potent romantic interest. The reader is snared from the opening paragraph and held tight to the last sentence. Watch for twists, turns and red herrings. Good book for a lazy weekend. --Scribesworld

Strong Conviction is a good crime story with interesting characters and solid writing. Trevor Scott weaves a web of small-town controversy that entraps our hero...with vivid description he paints characters who breathe and sets up believable conflict. --Pine Bluff (Arkansas) Commercial

From Library Journal:

Investigative reporter Trent Strong takes over the weekly newspaper in his northern Minnesota hometown after escaping a dangerous situation in Chicago. In short order, however, he encounters trouble again: someone murders Trent's former high school love, who owns the local milling company; and someone incinerates another long-time friend, who wanted to blow the whistle on illegal dumping by the same mill. Since suspicion seems to fall on Trent, he investigates. Unaccompanied by emotion, humor, or pizazz, the narration falls somewhat flat. Possibly of regional interest; Scott is also the author of thrillers like The Dolomite Solution.
