PRAISE FOR
THE ETHICAL ASSASSIN |

BENJAMIN WEAVER
RETURNS |
"Imagine David Lynch's bizarre masterpiece Blue Velvet, scripted by Edna Buchanan and Carl Hiaasen. It's a blast.."
 - Kirkus Reviews
[a Starred Review]
"Readers will enjoy this wild and highly entertaining ride."
- Library Journal
"The jump from financial chicanery in seventeenth-century London to
redneck craziness, South Florida style, seems daunting, but Liss sails
across the abyss unscathed. . . Hiaasen's homeboys will feel right
at home down in the muck with a gang of evildoing pig farmers."
- Booklist
"Gripping entertainment from the opening pages-a terrific read with the page-turning energy of a first-rate thriller, but also far, more than that. David Liss has written a genre-bender with more than its share of white-knuckle suspense, vivid characters, and surprising humor."
- Joseph Finder

Benjamin Weaver, David Liss's quick-witted pugilist turned private investigator, returns in the new short story, THE DOUBLE DEALER, published in the anthology THRILLER: STORIES TO KEEP YOU UP ALL NIGHT, edited by James Patterson.
"In Benjamin Weaver, Mr. Liss has created a multifaceted character and a wonderful narrator."
- The New York Sun
"Benjamin Weaver: Philip Marlowe done up in a wig and buckles."
- The Washington Post
"With eloquent wit, Liss ends [A Spectacle of Corruption] with yet another twist that seems to promise we'll hear more from — and more of — the indefatigable Benjamin Weaver. Let's hope so."
- Kirkus Reviews
"Liss [has] returned for another round with Weaver, and it's a pleasure to have him back."
- The New York Times
