Sound of Blood

WOULD YOU KILL THE WOMAN YOU LOVE TO SAVE HER FROM SOMETHING WORSE? “Real women, real villains and real heroes make Lawrence De Maria’s SOUND OF BLOOD a terrific read.” (JANET EVANOVICH) Bodies pile up from coast to coast as a private investigator probes a reporter’s grisly death. Uncovering a web of murder, sex, fraud and political corruption, he makes the mistake of falling in love with the beautiful, amoral woman who is the power behind the throne of a rogue billionaire. Together, the lovers set off a chain reaction of revenge that puts them in the crosshairs of brutal mobsters. If you like thrilling action, crackling dialogue and a tragic love story you won’t soon forget, then SOUND OF BLOOD, the first novel in the Jake Scarne series, is just a click away! *** “Fast, funny and furious, featuring a femme fatale for the ages and a shocking ending, SOUND OF BLOOD is as good a financial thriller as you can find in today’s fiction.” (John Crudele, NEW YORK POST) “SOUND OF BLOOD is a rollicking good adventure mystery with all the essential ingredients: an intrepid private eye, bizarre murders, international intrigue, missing documents, gorgeous women and slippery financial dealings. For those who enjoy dialog of the jocular irony-exaggeration genre, De Maria is a master.” (WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF BOOKS) “A Lawrence De Maria title gives you more bang for your buck than just about anything in the book marketplace today.” (FLORIDA WEEKLY)
