Review Quotes:
"Solomon's riveting account of what probably happened--and didn't happen--in that fancy hotel room will change your mind. He presents the case the DA declined to present. Read it and decide for yourself whether the prosecution of DSK should have been dropped." --Alan M. Dershowitz
"This is a fascinating examination of the roles of politics, race, class, social status, and egos in one of the decade's most sensational criminal cases." --Booklist (starred review) "Exciting." --Le Figaro "Investigative journalist John Solomon has provided the best explanation yet for what is going on in this tightly written and altogether credible account of what happens when an ordinary sex scandal involving a prominent man turns into a dark story where scary questions still lurk." --The Washington Times
