“A Lawrence De Maria title gives you more bang for your buck than just about anything in the book marketplace today.†(FLORIDA WEEKLY); “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); “Real women, real villains and real heroes make Lawrence De Maria’s SOUND OF BLOOD a terrific read.†(JANET EVANOVICH)
Pulitzer-nominee Lawrence De Maria's SOUND OF BLOOD was rated no. 19 in a list of the 100 best financial thrillers on Amazon! *** Jake Scarne, a rogue New York City cop turned private eye, is hired by a grieving father to uncover the truth about his son’s death. Bodies pile up from coast to coast as Scarne finds himself caught in a chain reaction of revenge that pits powerful mobsters against Wall Street billionaires.
Tougher than nails and as quick with a quip as he is with a gun, Scarne has friends on both sides of the law. He will cut any corner when seeking the truth. But in SOUND OF BLOOD he doesn’t count on falling for the beautiful, amoral woman who is the power behind the throne of a financial empire built on murder, sex, fraud and political corruption. *** “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
“SOUND OF BLOOD grabs you by the scruff of the neck and doesn’t let go – a thriller that delivers on every page, with enough heart and financial intrigue for three books.†-- DAVID O. STEWART (Bestselling author of The Summer of 1787) *** 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.
