LAURA LEE: An Alton Rhode Mystery (ALTON RHODE MYSTERIES Book 2) (English Edition) Formato Kindle
A security guard apprehends Elizabeth Olsen fleeing a mansion with a revolver in her hand. Inside, John Denton, a prominent banker, lies dead. Elizabeth claims she is innocent. But she acknowledges that Denton was her lover, and her story has more holes in it than the victim. No one believes the sexy, amoral woman. Not even her high-powered lawyer. But her wealthy father does, and wants Alton Rhode to clear her. Then, the case takes an even more tragic turn, sending the private investigator on a journey into the dark past of a Southern town, where he uncovers a startling secret that threatens everyone, innocent and guilty alike. ***“IF YOU LIKE STRONG CHARACTERIZATIONS, GREAT DIALOGUE AND SURPRISES, PULITZER-NOMINEE LAWRENCE DE MARIA’S ALTON RHODE MYSTERIES ARE IN A CLASS BY THEMSELVES.” (John Crudele, New York Post); “A LAWRENCE DE MARIA TITLE GIVES YOU MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK THAN JUST ABOUT ANYTHING IN THE BOOK MARKETPLACE TODAY.” (Florida Weekly); “A MASTER OF THRILLER DIALOGUE.” (Washington Independent Review of Books); “WHILE DE MARIA MAY HAVE BEEN AN AWARD-WINNING FINANCIAL REPORTER, HE'S AN AWFULLY GOOD FICTION WRITER AS WELL.” (Naples Daily News)
INTERNATIONAL ACCLAIM
THE UNITED STATES
THE DRONE (A Jake Scarne Thriller): “No matter what the series, De Maria’s characters are sure to act with boldness and courage. When I first discovered this author, I turned to his first book, Sound of Blood, purchased used, a signed copy, now one of many I have read, and I now read each new paperback as soon as it is published. Pleasures to read, sure entertainment, don’t even try to anticipate the twists and turns, as true as the statement about reality — you could never make this up!”
TURTLE DOVE (An Alton Rhode Mystery): “You won’t be sorry reading this humorous, amorous, adventurous book … happy to have discovered this author.”
SPLICER (A Jake Scarne Thriller): “With all the news about the recent pandemic out and about, De Maria has captured the threat of a genetically modified “bug” that could be weaponized.”
GREAT BRITAIN
THE END OF US (A Cole Sudden C.I.A. Thriller): “This is a cracker of a H bomb terrorist plot. A story very well told and written. Great bunch of characters and fast paced. Enjoyable.”
HOPE (A Jake Scarne Thriller): “Another brilliant read in an ever-increasing catalogue of great stories. Never disappoints and with great characters reappearing, this book is highly recommended once again.”
SISTER (An Alton Rhode Mystery): “Yet another classy read from the excellent pen of Mr. De Maria. Brilliant characters, a terrific storyline and would recommend this author without any misgivings. Kept me enthralled from beginning to the end.”
FRANCE
A JAKE SCARNE ACTION THRILLER BOX SET: “Good paced stories with interesting characters. Enjoyed and will read more. Would definitely recommend. Look forward to more by author.”
GERMANY
ALAS, PARIS (A Thriller): “I have read many of De Maria’s books, and find them unfailingly entertaining. Engaging dialogue, venues with enough descriptive detail to interest experienced travelers, scenes played out with gastronomic expertise, all while partnering with attractive and attentive characters of both sexes. And finally, for me, the writing in Chapter 14 was perfection.
INDIA
THE VIRON CONSPIRACY (A Jake Scarne Thriller): If you enjoy conspiracy theories, this is the book for you. Well written plot and characters, fast paced, detailed mystery.
SPAIN
ALL RHODES LEAD TO MURDER (Box Set): “I have just finished the 5-volume series, and wished there were more.”

This one starts off with a woman running out of a house with a gun in hand. We also have a murdered man. He's in a chair, naked with a hell of a hard on and five bullets through his face. He's quite dead.
A security guard grabs the woman and calls the police.
The police figure out who the guy is. He's one well know banker.
Detective show up. They have a woman running out of the house with gun in hand. A dead body and a slam dunk of a case.
How wrong they were. The accused murderess swears she didn't do it. She shot the gun but at another party who was in the house. Of course she's the ex-girlfriend of the dead man so police aren't buying her story for minute one.
The murdered man is no alter boy and was into sex in a big way. He had loads of willing women for him and his chair.
Rhode is contacted by the girls Father. He swears his daughter is telling the truth. He hires alton to prove it.
So starts one hell of a who dunnit. Jeeze. This one takes Alton to Georgia for background and turns into one hell of a story that involves more than the accused lady.
This one has blackmail, murder and loads of folks who don't want the truth to come out.
Five stars and then some. Another good one by DeMaria.


New readers should start with de marias earlier books and get to know his 2 main characters Alton rhodes and jake scarne.Cant wait for the next book.
