A LONESOME PLACE FOR DYING

NOLAN CHASE

A Lonesome Place For Dying by Nolan Chase is the real deal. What reader can

resist experiencing a blue-eyed coyote? And a heart in butcher paper left on a back porch. And that is just the beginning of A Lonesome Place For Dying by Nolan Chase, a first-time novelist who has already out-paced most of his peers in the police procedural genre.

Ethan Brand is the newly appointed police chief of Blaine, Washington, a small town near the Canadian border. His first case is a homicide and missing person case involving drugs, money, and fraud committed by a multi-generational crime family.

The writer uses bright-line imagery of the police chief and his deputies. We also gain an understanding of the crooks and their motives. A cat-and-mouse game soon develops, and the reader is compelled to live inside this well-told, exciting, and realistically drawn story. I hope that Nolan Chase has a long and illustrious career.
