Praise for Dominic Martell

and the Pascual Series

“A superbly crafted story, with plenty of action, danger, and suspense. … Martell juxtaposes ruthless violence and dark passion against the question of what constitutes morality and ‘goodness.’”

  —Booklist starred review of Lying Crying Dying

“Dark and bloody as it is, this is spy fiction of the highest order, with atmospheric backgrounds for a plot that ratchets up suspense with each twist and turn and a splendidly complex protagonist, who takes great risks and bluffs his way to the end.”

  —Booklist starred review of Republic of Night

“Beautifully plotted and written. … I've rarely read a book with a stronger and more persuasive sense of place. … There isn't a character in the book who doesn't leap off the page.”

—Patricia Abbott, award-winning author

of I Bring Sorrow, on Gitana

“Looking to be transported to another time and place? Want to stay up deep into the night wondering how the hell Pascual is going to get out of this one? You can’t go wrong with Martell.”

—J. Sydney Jones, author of the critically acclaimed Viennese Mystery series

“Martell brings Pascual into the 21st century—older and wiser yet once again coerced into international skulduggery at the peril of exposure for the sins of his past. This time, he’s party to a money-laundering scheme, jet setting from one tax haven to another, at every turn trying to stay one step ahead of his handlers, sensing they will soon have little need of him and his unique ‘qualifications’ for the job—and that what he knows will become a fatal liability.”
