Wearing the Spider by Susan Schaab

wearing-spider.jpgA lawyer's identity is hijacked and misused by a ruthless partner of her Manhattan law firm who engages in email impersonation, political gamesmanship and electronic forgery to set her up as the mastermind of an illegal scheme that ultimately leads to murder.


She embarks on a clandestine investigation while dodging the FBI, risking her life as well as her career.


"The Devil Wears Prada in legal technicolor. A smart, thoroughly-enjoyable tale." -Liz Smith, New York Post Columnist



"Wow…a high-tech thriller that cracks open the inner workings of a large law firm and leaves one wondering just how often sexual harassment and hostile work environments are tolerated in the corporate world…I highly recommend Wearing the Spider." -Heather Froeschl, Book Review Journal



"I really, really enjoyed reading Wearing the Spider. It is one of those novels that one finds impossible to put down. If I could have given it a higher score than five stars, I would have. The author Susan Schaab has a writing talent that totally and immediately draws you into her story." -Paige Lovitt, Reader Views



"…the writing and editing is of the highest quality. The character and plot development is also masterfully done. This story is an awesome read, it draws you into a whirlpool of plot twists and intriguing characters." Simon Barrett, posted on http://zzsimonb.blogspot.com
