What Readers are Saying
Mr. Johnson can certainly tell a story well. His characters and story line are realistic and compelling. I found myself drawn into the story from the beginning and really wanted to know how it would all be resolved. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good legal thriller. You won't be disappointed. RE: Critical Reaction

Took a flyer on The Deposit Slip because Todd is a classmate. I started it Friday night and couldn't put it down. Finished mid-day Saturday! A gripping page turner, and I highly recommend it.
