What they’re saying about River of Lies:
RIVER OF LIES is a rich, gripping crime novel. James L’Etoile writes with a deep understanding of both human nature and investigative procedure, a combination that keeps the pages flying past. – Lou Berney, Edgar Award winning author of DOUBLE BARREL BLUFF, and DARK RIDE
RIVER OF LIES is a tour de force thriller by a talented and observant storyteller. It shines a light on the American poor at the hands of political and financial powers that control their fates. Brooding, heartfelt and powerful. — T. Jefferson Parker, Edgar Award winning author and New York Times Bestselling author of DESPERATION REEF
RIVER OF LIES is a masterful blend of political intrigue and personal drama, weaving elements of true-life crime into a twisty, page-turning and compelling plot — with a climax and denouement that will shock you to the core. Enthusiastically recommended. —Baron Birtcher, award-winning and bestselling author of KNIFE RIVER
“James L’Etoile’s RIVER OF LIES is every bit as twisty, unexpected, and compelling as his first Emily Hunter detective mystery, with everything that I love in a police procedural in spades: a smart and intuitive lead detective, an equally intuitive partner, and a high-stakes, ripped-from-the-headlines case that will challenge them both. When the second book in a series is even better than the first, you know you’re going to be following these characters for a very long time.” — Karen Dionne, #1 internationally bestselling author of THE MARSH KING’S DAUGHTER and THE WICKED SISTER
