"Elmore Leonard is a tough act to follow, but son Peter is off to a terrific start. TRUST ME is fast, sly and full of twists. Clearly, great storytelling runs in the Leonard family's DNA."
-Carl Hiaasen

So far, "Trust Me" ranks as the thriller of the year. Trust me.
-Harry Levins
St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Leonard's second effort establishes him as a genuinely gifted storyteller. Although the book is similar in many ways to the hard-edged, witty, character-driven novels of Leonard's father, Elmore, it has its own voice and its own stylistic flourishes. In this fast-paced, elaborately plotted tale, a woman concocts a scheme to retrieve $300,000 from an ex-boyfriend, but she doesn't count on the wrath of an angry thug, her boyfriend's scheming nephew, or a pair of hitmen with their own plans for that 300 grand. While the cachet of the author's more famous father should guarantee the novel plenty of interest, it's Peter Leonard's own talent that shines through here. In Time, if you find yourself referring to "that really cool mystery writer, Leonard," you might have to explain which one you're talking about."

"Leonard is his own man, and while he might mine the same mountain as his father, Elmore, he is fully capable of telling his own stories, and telling them well. Trust me."
