"A spectacular twist on the old Iron Curtain escape."-Library JournalA tightly plotted international intrigue. Russian doctor's desperate bid for freedom-a pageturner and a passionate defense of man's right to be free. "Well-crafted. I congratulate Holzer on finding her true voice the first time out."-Harry Crews "High suspense, good writing, believable characters-splendid espionage."-Mary Higgins Clark"This novel has everything going for it: devious plot, vivid and multidimensional characterizations, and judicious selectivity. Double Crossing succeeds both as dandy entertainment for the general reader and as a subtle novel of ideas. The novel's story is one man's lifelong ambition to flee the Soviet system to the West. Its theme is man's profound need for personal liberty. Ms. Holzer beautifully integrates her theme with carefully chosen and impeccably researched details."-Robert Bidinotto, Boston Herald"A masterfully written, well-crafted novel, Erika Holzer's Double Crossing is a sensitive, realistic depiction of the human condition in Soviet Russia and East Germany, played against the backdrop of man's endless quest for freedom."-Jim Finnegan, Manchester Union LeaderErika Holzer's Double Crossing is very good - superior by first-novel standards. She has something important to say, and she says it in the mode of the serious thriller. The material is carefully researched, the plotting intricate and taut."-John Dunlop, American Spectator"Double Crossing, a first-rate novel, may be read as a 'page-turner' suspense/escape story, but for lovers of serious art, it will become, as well, the kind of deeply moving experience only serious fiction can offer. That Erika Holzer imaginatively entwines suspense and seriousness is her most stunning achievement."-Alexandra York, Aristos"Once in a while a novel of comp

"Lawyer-turned-novelist Erika Holzer's Eye for an Eye is a disturbing look at street gangs, urban violence, the criminal justice system-a story of vigilantism growing out of the ongoing American obsession with law and order. Impassioned characters, sharp terse writing-a sort of American Clockwork Orange. Highly recommended."-Nelson DeMille. "Blistering."-Ed McBain, author of Downtown and The Kiss"The opening of Eye for an Eye rivals in graphic horror...[Hitchcock's] Psycho...Mrs. Holzer, a lawyer and a experienced journalist, hurtles at breakneck pace from one scene of cunning violence to another as she explores the ethics of frontier justice transposed to the urban battleground...A page-turner with a well crafted, ingenious plot...and an O Henry twist."-Priscilla L. Buckley, National Review"Eye for an Eye is a passionate dramatization of the horrors of violent crime from a modern woman's perspective. Thought-provoking and intense, the novel is an intelligent look at the aftermath of violent crime, the appeal of vigilante justice, and the ultimate failure of such 'justice.'"-Leonore Fleischer, Publishers Weekly"Erika Holzer's gripping new thriller...dedicated to the victims of crime, dead or alive...is a brutal, bone-chilling view of the phenomenon of vigilante justice...No ordinary thriller, Eye for an Eye is thought-provoking, spelling out the dangers of vigilante justice."-Helle Bering-Jensen, Washington Times"Everything in Eye for an Eye propels the reader forward as relentlessly as a coiled spring proceeding inexorably toward a crashing climax. [The novel]is very Aristotelian...a very Randian novel."-John Hospers, Liberty Magazine"Nowhere is the failure of bureaucratic law better explained than in the plot and theme of Eye for an Eye."-Robert Cheeks, Intellectual Conservative

EYE FOR AN EYE: A Novel of Unintended Consequences

Jane Fonda’s visit to Hanoi in July 1972 and her pro–North Vietnamese, anti–American conduct, especially her pose with an anti-aircraft gun used to shoot down American planes and her propaganda broadcasts directed toward American troops, angered many Americans. In their eyes, she was guilty of treason, but she was never charged by the American legal system. Instead, she has made millions, been the recipient of countless awards, and remained an honored American icon. 
This work investigates Fonda’s activities in North Vietnam and argues that she could have been indicted for treason, that there would have been enough evidence to take the case to a jury, that she could have been convicted, and that a conviction probably would have been upheld on appeal. It also considers Fonda’s early life and the effect it had on her behavior and beliefs in her later years, her audience of American POWs who were forced by the Vietnamese to listen to her broadcasts condemning them as war criminals, her arrival in Vietnam and how it was viewed by American servicemen and civilians, the crime of treason throughout history, and the only Congressional inquiry into her actions, which resulted in the government’s decision to take no legal action against her. Texts of Fonda’s radio broadcasts to American servicemen comprise the appendix.
