The Black Stiletto: A Novel
"Irresistible: Suppose you found out--just too late--that your mother had been a superhero crime fighter. What would you do? Sit back, take a deep breath, and let Raymond Benson tell you."--LEE CHILD, New York Times best selling author of the Jack Reacher thrillers"Judy is a complex character. She reminded me a bit of a female version of The Shadow. Most crime authors who write period pieces set in the 50s or 60s struggle at times for authenticity--The Black Stiletto does not have that problem."-- HENRY PEREZ, author of Killing Red and Mourn the Living"Judy is a fantastic character, and Benson absolutely nails the way women write in their diaries. I think this sort of strong woman (particularly one in a time period where we don't think of women having much independence) will be enormously appealing to female readers. The action is great, and Benson writes in a voice that's accessible and engaging."-- TASHA ALEXANDER, author of Dangerous to Know"It's action! It's adventure! It appeals to women--and to men! It's faster than a speeding bullet, and a truly terrific read. Don't miss it!"-- HEATHER GRAHAM, New York Times best-selling author of Phantom Evil"A thriller that brilliantly succeeds at that most difficult of authorial endeavors: blending the past and the present into a single compelling story. Filled with cutting-edge suspense, wry humor and heart-wrenching warmth, not to mention great period detail, Black Stiletto will grab you instantly and simply not let go until the final page--no, make that the final sentence."-- JEFFERY DEAVER, New York Times best-selling author of Edge--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
