PW's review for Jonathan Kellerman's non—Alex Delaware stand-alone, The Conspiracy Club, was excellent, favorably citing its "gripping, intricate" plotting. Ballantine notes that the online promotion for the book is extensive, including a three-month campaign on Bookreporter.com with excerpts and giveaways. Other online promotion included ads in MysteryNet.com's 70,000-subscriber e-newsletter; plus features in the Chapter-A-Day Book Clubs (www.dearreader.com), on the Random House Channel on the mobile Internet provider AdvantGo, in the Ballantine "Outlined in Chalk" mystery e-newsletter and a giveaway promotion in Random House's "What's New" e-newsletter. First printing for the book is 300,000.
