Blood Truth builds up compelling mysteries and thunders toward a surprising ending.

Matt Coyle’s engrossing noir thriller Blood Truth finds Rick Cahill dredging up family mysteries while solving a

seemingly simple cheating-husband case; it is a work that is difficult to put down.

Nearly thirty years after his disgraced father got booted off the force, Cahill discovers a safe hidden in their old

family home. It holds an envelope stuffed with cash, a potential murder weapon missing exactly two bullets, and the

key to a safety deposit box.

Before he can fully delve into the mystery, Cahill’s ex-girlfriend hires him to follow her new husband and get

proof of infidelity. A web of intrigue ensnares Cahill, placing him in the crosshairs. With his life on the line, Cahill

rushes headlong after justice.

Despite being the fourth book in a series, Blood Truth is incredibly accessible and functions almost as a

standalone adventure. It builds upon previous books, but context is supplied subtly, without hampering the flow.

Cahill is a fantastic addition to the PI literary canon. He’s a sympathetic character with deep flaws but an

unnerving drive to find truth at any cost. He lives by his father’s oft-quoted motto: “We can’t quit just because things

get hard.”

Plot and pacing shine. There are few quiet moments in the book, as Cahill is always on his way to confront

someone, recovering from a colossal misstep, or gathering evidence to figure out the next mistake to make. That’s not

to say that Cahill bumbles about; he learns quickly and adapts, but is always a few steps behind the bad guys. The

twin mysteries of his father’s hidden safe and his ex-girlfriend’s cheating husband seem totally separate at first blush

but quickly become deeply intertwined.

Expertly written and featuring a snarky and self-deprecating hero, Blood Truth builds up compelling mysteries

and thunders toward a satisfying, if surprising, ending.

GREAT Publisher's Weekly Review for Matt Coyle's BLOOD TRUTH!

Blood Truth: A Rick Cahill Novel Matt Coyle. Oceanview, $26.95 (384p) ISBN 978- 1-60809-239-0

"In Anthony Award-winner Coyle's well-crafted fourth Rick Cahill novel (after 2016's Dark Fissures), Rick deals with killers, corruption, and his own past. A former girlfriend of the La Jolla, Calif., PI, hires Rick to find out whether her real estate mogul husband, Jeffrey Parker, is cheating on her. Rick enlists the aid of fellow PI Moira McFarlane to help tail Parker. Rick observes not only Parker meeting a woman at the Pacific Terrace Hotel but also the same woman subsequently meeting with power broker Peter Stone and a lobbyist with links to Stone. Moira later identifies her as Sophia Domingo, a divorcée with no record of employment in recent years; the stakes rise after Rick discovers Sophia's body and Jeffrey becomes a suspect in her murder. Meanwhile, Rick pursues new clues related to his disgraced and deceased father that lead him to investigate a 20-year-old murder. Coyle manages both stories nicely in this strong addition to this hard-boiled series." Agent: Kimberley Cameron, Kimberley Cameron & Associates. (Dec.)

Donlay climbs to a new height of terror in his 8th Donovan Nash thriller 

Hundreds of white-hot meteor fragments plunge toward Earth near Monterey Bay, California. Huge fires ignite the tinder-dry landscape and, as the sun sets, the power grid collapses and the fires grow, illuminating a nightmare created in hell itself. Donovan Nash realizes he is trapped. 

Injured and growing desperate, his options dwindling, Donovan fights to keep himself and a small band of survivors alive until dawn, when they can make one last attempt to escape the inferno. 

Meanwhile, Donovan’s wife, Dr. Lauren McKenna, working with the Pentagon as well as the Forest Service, envisions a bold approach to stop the fire from spreading all the way to the Bay Area and the seven million residents living there. She’s terrified that, if not executed perfectly, her plan could cause the death of thousands of people—including Donovan. 

Praise for Philip Donlay and the Donovan Nash series: 

“Authors like Philip Donlay, who write the pure thrillers, have capabilities and strength I can only envy. Great pacing and twists. Bravo!” 

—William Kent Krueger, Edgar Award-winning and New York Times best-selling author of Manitou Canyon 

“[Deadly Echoes] is a heart-thumping ride that steams along, bringing our flawed world into pristine focus. Lots of mischief and mayhem, the characters fraught with danger, the plot hitting all the right notes.” 

—Steve Berry, New York Times best-selling author of The Lost Order 

“Donovan Nash is back—and is he ever. In Aftershock… tense action, crisp dialog, and cool high-tech toys drive the story. Oh, and there’s even an erupting volcano. A great read.” 

—D. P. Lyle, award-winning author of Deep Six 

“Fans of Michael Crichton will not want to miss Deadly Echoes. Well researched and supremely entertaining, Philip Donlay has knocked this one out of the park!” 

—Ward Larsen, USA Today best-selling author of Passenger 19 

“In [Aftershock], Donlay checks all the boxes of the genre: strong male lead (with an unlimited bank account, no less), capable friends with appropriate skills, and a lightning-fast pace.”
