“Downfall is a compelling psychological thriller enriched with a superb (eighties New York) sense of time and place. A page-turner that doesn’t sacrifice depth of understanding of the human condition.” —Jonathan Kellerman, New York Times best-selling author

“Downfall is a very classy and gripping high-octane thriller—I could not put it down.” —Peter James, best-selling author

“Tense and suspenseful, this mystery is deepened by its exploration of grief and family dynamics. Surprising and poignant.” —Meg Gardiner, Edgar Award-winning author

“Mark Rubinstein’s Downfall is a harrowing murder-mystery wrapped in an enigma. It's whip-smart and crackling-paced. Part medical thriller, part detective story, but ultimately a heart-wrenching story of the fallibility of memory and how past trauma haunts a life. Treat yourself to this story today.” —James Rollins, New York Times best-selling author

“Rubinstein’s Downfall is a psychological killer—a smart, intricate, page-turner.”—Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times best-selling author

“Downfall is a psychological thriller par excellence that follows one man's personal descent into a deconstructive hell. Mark Rubinstein hits the bull's-eye dead center in a scintillating stunner of a tale destined to place him alongside the likes of Joseph Finder, Harlan Coben and Lisa Gardner. Downfall reads like a post-modern equivalent of the John D. MacDonald classic Cape Fear, pushing its characters to the brink while pushing readers to finish it in one sitting.” —Jon Land, USA Today best-selling author

“Part psychological thriller and part police procedural, this novel reads like a TV series worth recording so as not to miss an episode.” —Library Journal (Starred Review)

“An extraordinary thriller which begs to be read in a single setting.” —Jon Land’s The Thrill List

“[In Downfall], Rubinstein makes Rick a well-rounded and plausible lead, and the action builds to a satisfying ending.” —Publishers Weekly

“A riveting suspense thriller of a crime novel, Downfall is another compelling novel from the pen of author Mark Rubinstein.” —Midwest Book Review

Praise for Mark Rubinstein

“The tension in The Lovers’ Tango never lets you go.” —Michael Connelly, New York Times best-selling author

“Assassin’s Lullaby is the kind of thriller that will have you breathlessly flipping each page.” —Lisa Gardner, New York Times best-selling author

“Mad Dog Vengeance blasts out of the gate and never lets up. Yes, it’s an absolute thriller of a novel. But it’s also smart and humane with a great sense of place.” —C. J. Box, New York Times best-selling author

“Mad Dog Vengeance sets the stakes high, raises them even higher, and surges to a spectacular, operatic finale. Hard-boiled protagonists don’t get much better than Dr. Roddy Dolan, who can save your life—or blow you away.” —Joseph Finder, New York Times best-selling author
