“The New York Times” and “Suspense Magazine” Both Rave About “A Scourge of Vipers”

The New York Times book review section says this about A Scourge of Vipers, the latest book in my Edgar Award-winning series of hard-boiled crime novels:�� The protagonist, Liam Mulligan, is barely holding onto his job at a dying Providence, RI., newspaper, “but until someone actually pulls the plug on this once-scrappy daily, Bruce DeSilva gives his smart and funny investigative sleuth something to live and fight for.”

And Suspense Magazine says: “The character of Liam (Mulligan) is going into his fourth book in this series, but this is most definitely a stand-alone novel that can be read by suspense lovers who may have somehow missed the first brilliant books by this author. A quick and compelling story of murder, ethics, and very tough decisions for local law and government to make, this is a powerful crime story with fantastic plotting. . . . Every word is more than entertaining.���

The new novel previously received rave reviews from The Associated Press and The Providence Journal, and coveted starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Library Journal. It���s available in hardcover, e-book, and audio editions. To order it, you can find a list of chain and independent online booksellers here.
