Praise for Shane

“A first-rate cops-and-psychos novelist. His plucky heroine evokes the spirit of Thomas Harris’ Clarice Starling.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Shane Gericke writes with the clear eye of a hard-nosed reporter and the sweet soul of an artist. His power is visceral and unforgettable.”

—New York Times bestselling author Gayle Lynds

“A rambunctious, devious novel full of chutzpah, high energy, and surprises. Forget roller coaster; this one reads like a rocket.”

—USA Today bestselling author John Lutz
