BAIT AND SWITCH - July 2004, Signet

There's no such thing as no strings attached.

READ the STARRED REVIEW from Publishers Weekly.

"In Bait and Switch, Larry Brooks takes you on a smart, funny, sexy, scary ride through a minefield of betrayals in the glamorous, surreal world of the super-rich. It's a wild trip that will have you trusting no one and watching your back till the final page. Strap yourself in and enjoy!"
- Michael Prescott, NY Times bestselling author of Next Victim

"BAIT AND SWITCH is deliciously dangerous, with finely-keyed tension and humor that play off each other. The novel is twisted just right, with jaw-dropping moments, some of which made me laugh out loud. Larry Brooks' latest is dazzling and dark, funny and absolutely fabulous. I wouldn't mind if Wolfgang Schmitt drove his Mercedes right into my driveway."
- Diana Jordan, Host, "Between The Lines," AP Radio Network, "Meet The Writers," Barnes & Noble.com Book Reviewer, AM Northwest, KATU-TV (ABC)

"Larry Brooks' writing is fast, smart, and funny. Think John Grisham meets Nick Hornby."
- Anne Frasier, USA Today bestselling author of Hush

"BAIT AND SWITCH is a wild suspense thriller that one moment keeps readers on the edge of their seats with tension and the next scene leads to uproarious laughter. The musings on the world that starts almost every chapter are amusing, fun and insightful in a quick fortune cookie style, which in many ways sums up Wolf. Fans will adore him."
- Harriet Klausner, #1 Reviewer, Amazon.com
