Praise for this book

"Written with Caputo's customary style and razor-sharp prose, Equation for Evil is the rarest of novels: one that makes the reader think profoundly at the same time that he is driven to devour pages. Unflinching, compelling and engaging, it stands beside books like Presumed Innocent or The Silence of the Lambs and is equally fascinating." -- John Banville

"A white-knuckle thriller replete with violent racist conspiracies, kinky sex, and a cool twist for an ending." -- Esquire
