Reviews
"Lancaster is a terrific new character and Swain's writing is better than ever-together they're smart, tough, suspenseful, and rewarding." -Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author "James Swain's The King Tides is a hundred percent adrenaline rush disguised as a detective novel. Its hero, an ex-detective named Jon Lancaster, is as adept at using the latest digital sleuthing software as he is shooting a gun. The pacing is terrific, the dialogue memorable, and the characters, including a tough-as-nails female FBI agent and some truly frightening serial killers, jump off the page. You will read this book in one sitting. It's that good." -Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Jon Lancaster is a former Navy SEAL and a retired cop, who works rescues of abducted children, and is a kick-ass private investigator. Tough as nails, Jon doesn't take no for an answer when searching for missing kids. As a private investigator he doesn't have to abide by the same rules of law enforcement officers, giving the perpetrators no rights. Author James Swain has created a protagonist who is real enough to be your next door neighbor. I have read, and loved, many of Swain's books over the years, but I think The King Tides is his best work yet. The story is action-packed, tough, and believable. I hope the Jon Lancaster adventures will become a series." -Cheryl Kravetz, Murder on the Beach Bookstore, Delray Beach, Florida "Jim Swain is crime fiction's master of misdirection. I can't think of anyone who comes close. If you are tired of retread plots and characters-the same old, same old, give Jim Swain a try. I dare you to grab a copy of The King of Tides and tell me how it will end after reading a few chapters." -Mike Bursaw, Mystery Mike's bookstore, specializing in Detective, Mystery & Suspense Fiction
