Publisher Description
Fact or fiction? Current events in the City of Toronto echo the plot of Robert Rotenberg’s latest legal thriller Stranglehold. Everyone is saying he predicted the future for Toronto’s mayor. Read it and find out!
Ripped from the headlines, Stranglehold is bestselling author Robert Rotenberg’s most shocking book yet, featuring Detective Ari Greene in the fight of his life.
It is just after Labour Day and the city is kicking into gear. All eyes are on the hotly contested election for Toronto’s next mayor and crime is the big issue. Greene is no stranger to the worst of what the city has to offer, but even he is unprepared for what happens next when he stumbles upon a horrific homicide.
In one nightmare moment his world is flipped upside down. Soon Greene is pitted against his young protégé, Daniel Kennicott, who arrests him for first-degree murder. Tied down on house arrest as he awaits his trial, Greene has to find a way to clear his name, and also must face some very hard truths: that he didn’t really know the people he believed in most; that there are unseen forces at work prepared to see him take the fall; and most of all, that he should never underestimate the price people will pay for love.
Eerily reminiscent of the scandal surrounding the current Toronto mayor, Stranglehold is Rotenberg’s fourth gripping mystery set on the streets and in the courtrooms of the city, capturing audiences with his masterful knowledge of the intricacies of the criminal justice system and feel for the emotions that make people tick.

Strangle Hold
This author reminds me of John Grisham but much better!!! There was not one boring page in the whole book! I just couldn't put it down!! His Toronto mayor ,sounds familiar!!
I have bought the rest of Robert Rotenbergs' books and can't wait to get started!
The best book I've read in a long time , and I'm not related or anything !!
Great read
Rotenberg writes a well-crafted mystery that includes excellent courtroom scenes along with good detective action. Have read all of his novels to date. Recommend reading in order as characters develop from story to story although each story is complete in itself. It is a delight to read a story set in Toronto. Rotenberg describes the neighborhoods well giving you a good sense of being in the setting... sights, sounds, smells. I look forward to Rotenberg's next novel with anticipation.
