MADMAN'S THIRST: A Jake Scarne Thriller (JAKE SCARNE THRILLERS Book 2)
“A Lawrence De Maria title gives you more bang for your buck than just about anything in the book marketplace today.†(FLORIDA WEEKLY); “If you like hard-boiled action, memorable villains and twisty plots, the Jake Scarne thrillers never disappoint!†(John Crudele, NEW YORK POST); “A master of thriller dialogue.†– WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF BOOKS *** In MADMAN’S THIRST, even powerful mob bosses are expendable pawns as a criminal financial mastermind, hiding in plain sight among New York’s power elite and aided by one of the world’s deadliest assassins, pursues his deranged dream.
Only private eye Jake Scarne, still recovering from the trauma he suffered in SOUND OF BLOOD, the first book in this acclaimed series, stands in the way. With locales as varied as Paris, New York, Florida and the Bahamas, MADMAN’S THIRST is a non-stop thrill ride, where billions are at stake in an international conspiracy involving a foreign power. *** “What is really almost beyond belief is how easily De Maria has transitioned from the dry world of financial reporting to the wild and lavish world of novel writing.†– COLLIER CITIZEN *** Winner of an Associated Press award for crime reporting, Lawrence De Maria is a Pulitzer-nominated journalist who cut his teeth on financial corruption at The New York Times and Forbes.
