...Ocean Park," the much-buzzed-about first novel of Yale law professor Stephen L. Carter (Knopf), giving it a rhapsodic starred review. "This sleek, immensely readable first novel by Yale law professor Carter, author of such provocative nonfiction as 'The Culture of Disbelief' and 'God's Name in Vain,' is custom-designed for the kind of commercial success enjoyed by John Grisham's 'The Firm' 11 years ago...a melodrama with brains and heart to match its killer plot."
