.... Praise for Jeff's work:

"Jeff Abbott is the new name in suspense."--New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben

"A superior, fast-paced thriller. .white-knuckled suspense that's extremely hard to put down."--Publishers' Weekly

"Panic is a ride down the roaring rapids. Jeff Abbott has put together a hell of a page-turner."--New York Ties bestselling author Michael Connelly

"Edge of your seat quotient: sky-high."--Entertainment Weekly

"Those who disparage page-turners seldom appreciate what it takes to pull off a really good one, such as Abbott's engrossing hardcover debut...with skilled handling of riveting action sequences, plot twists, and camera angles, all converging at breakneck speed, Abbott whips these simple ingredients into a near-perfect thriller that may indeed result in physical distress akin to panic for anyone trying to put the thing down before the last bullet flies. Fans of Harlan Coben, Lee Child, Joseph Finder, or John Grisham—anyone who enjoys a wild ride on a bumpy road—can cheer the arrival of our latest master of the fine art of the page-turner. Highly recommended." —Booklist

"Compulsively readable...an engaging page-turner that makes for fast and enjoyable reading." —Chicago Sun-Times

"The plotting is nothing short of brilliant. It reads like a rocket-propelled roller coaster ride, and the surprises are genuine surprises, especially the stunner at the end. Evan Casher is an intriguing, layered character, but Abbott doesn't let his deft characterizations get in the way of his plot or slow the story. With Panic Abbott can safely take his seat alongside Harlan Coben, Dan Brown and John LeCarre. He's that good." —Mark Terry, The Oakland Press
