Blood Foam: A Lewis Cole Mystery: 9 (The Lewis Cole Series) - Tapa dura

DuBois has created a fascinating character in Lewis Cole.

Filled with excellent twists, very good suspense from several sources, and a well-done ending.

Series fans will enjoy the ride.

It is impossible for me to overpraise Brendan DuBois.--Otto Penzler, The Mysterious Bookshop

With a pleasantly complicated plot and interesting characters, it's a suspenseful, entertaining read.

Dubois' thrillers starring Lewis Cole can be picked up at any point in the series, but fans who have been reading them from the start will really appreciate how Dubois' characters keep getting back up after being tossed around by life. Dubois gives us scene upon scene of incredible tension, relieved by Cole's mordant wit, and building to a truly gasp-inducing climax. Dubois gives the reader both exquisite suspense and deeply realized characters.

The hero handles his predicament successfully and to this reader's immense satisfaction.--Eugen Weber
