Description

Blurring the distinction between literary fiction and crime fiction, this is a book that will inform readers, and needs to be read. Gage has done himself proud. --Sherbroke Herald. (Quebec, CA) ...emotionally charged debut...vividly evokes a country of political corruption, startling economic disparity, and relentless crime, both random and premeditated. --Booklist ... a gripping and brutal tale of murder and vengeance. Gage's inspector is a fascinating character. Highly recommended. --Library Journal (Starred Review) Mr. Gage's lively, action-filled chronicles...have finely sketched characters, vivid geographical detail and their own brutal sort of humor...the Silva investigations have all the step-by-step excitement of a world-class procedural series. -- The Wall Street Journal "Irresistible" - The New York Times Praise for Leighton Gage's Mario Silva series: "Top notch ... controversial and entirely absorbing."—The New York Times Book Review "A dark, violent book with characters that seethe on the page ... compelling writing. Readers will smell the steam and stench of the Amazon and recoil from the torture and depredation from which Gage averts his lens, barely in time."—Boston Globe
