"Lying in Judgment, is sure to enchant mystery readers, as well as having them beg for more. This story will make the reader's stomach clench, like his protagonist, Peter. Without divulging too much, the emotional turmoil Peter goes through while serving on a jury, involving a murder he knows the defendant did not commit, will have you reaching for anything to calm your nerves. Corbin's attention to even the smallest detail, as well as its nerve-wracking expositions will make you squirm. Lying in Judgment carries the reader through twists and turns to an ultimate startling collision with reality. The tale will spark the darkest thoughts in the mind of the reader, giving way to that trite phrase, "This could happen to me." Warning: if you are reading this novel in bed, plan on having a sleepless night." - Dave DeHart, Author of Collision of Forces, A Dan Dailey thriller. "Lying in Judgment is a very unique book and the plot is really original. ... I really loved how the author, Gary Corbin, started the book off with action happening right away. ... It's also fast-paced and has shorter chapters, making the book hard to put down. Corbin does a fantastic job of really depicting how Peter's guilt is eating away at him and you will often squirm with Peter during the tense scenes. It also appeared to me, the court room scenes seemed accurate and realistic as far as dialogue and court proceedings go. There are many twists and turns and the ending may very well be the best part of the whole book. Lying in Judgement in a must-read, you will not regret it!" - Christie Jok, Christie Writes Reviews "Enjoyed this! Intriguing page turner that I didn't want to put down! Looking forward to more books from this author." - L. C. Wright "Terrific. Different. Fascinating... [Corbin] adds strain with every turn of the plot." - Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards "A unique legal thriller." - Lacamas Magazine "Original, very fresh and surprising." - Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards "A real page turner!" - First Books
