Media Reviews"Peter Abrahams builds his simple tale slowly and methodically, and there is some sharp humor along the way (one class is titled 'Superman and Man: Nietzsche and Cobain'). Readers who are patient will be rewarded. This is a cunning, sinister variation on the old story about the boy who cried wolf, and Abrahams has delivered a rock-solid piece of suspense writing." -- Chris Petrakos, Chicago Tribune Books "CRYING WOLF unfolds brilliantly, in sequences made all the more compelling by nuance and precise detail....[s]mart and gripping." -- Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal "Abraham's most restrained but gripping thriller yet." -- Kirkus Publisher NotesIn a new thriller set against the backdrop of an elite New England college campus, a seemingly inconsequential deception to preserve the future of a poor but promising young man has unexpectedly deadly consequences for his friends when they come up with an ingenious scheme involving an arrogant billionaire.
