About this title

Review:

"This is a humane and moving book, a great war novel, a great crime novel. A great novel period."
--Ian Rankin

"A vivid, beautifully written book . . . Lie in the Dark marks the appearance of an exciting new talent."

"Far more than just a murder mystery, Lie in the Dark is a moody, at times dire, evocation . . . of one honorable man's dogged attempts to find truth and reason within a most unreasonable, hellish landscape."
--Dennis Lehane

"This book has all the elements we love in a top-notch crime fiction: Strong plot, realistic descriptions, rich character development and intriguing story-line . . . We strongly recommend this book to all fans of mystery novels."
