Alana Dallas has been snatched from her Ivy League college. Her mother, Maura, head of San Francisco’s powerful Dallassio crime family, will do anything to get her back safely. As would the fearsome Vincent Anastasia, the elderly family enforcer who adores the girl. Reluctant to contact the F.B.I., Maura Dallas turns to Jake Scarne, who has both police and underworld contacts. And a reputation for doing the impossible – usually because he will bend, even break, the law to help a client. But there is another reason she wants the private eye’s help. One that stirs his memories and emotions. What Scarne and Anastasia eventually discover shocks them both, and is far more terrible than Maura Dallas could have imagined.
"IF YOU LIKE HARD-BOILED ACTION, MEMORABLE VILLAINS AND TWISTY PLOTS, THE JAKE SCARNE THRILLERS NEVER DISAPPOINT!” (John Crudele, New York Post); “A STEAMROLLER OF ACTION AND CALCULATION … NOTABLE FOR SNAPPY DIALOGUE, ENGAGING DESCRIPTIONS OF HOW TO WORK AN INVESTIGATION, BOLDLY DRAWN CHARACTERS AND VIVID SETTINGS. 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
GREAT BRITAIN
THE END OF US (Cole Sudden Thriller): “Great bunch of characters and fast paced. Enjoyable.”
HOPE (Jake Scarne Thriller): “Another brilliant read in an ever-increasing catalogue of great stories.”
SISTER (Alton Rhode Mystery): “Brilliant characters, a terrific storyline and would recommend this author without any misgivings. Kept me enthralled from beginning to the end.”
GERMANY
ALAS, PARIS (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 (Jake Scarne Thriller): If you enjoy conspiracy theories, this is the book for you. Well written plot and characters, fast paced, detailed mystery.
