Judas Horse

A feverishly pitched adventure . . . that thunders right off the page. The New York Times Book Review A pulse-pounding thriller. USA Today Fast, harrowing, and breathtaking. The New York Sun A genuinely scarifying thriller . . . has the momentum of a theme-park ride. Los Angeles Times Why does the FBI still seem so sexy? Part of the reason is murder mysteries like April Smith s Judas Horse . . . It s creepy, chest-thumping stuff, with snitches and loyalty tests and the good guys and villains constantly in flux. Los Angeles Magazine Smith s superb third thriller to feature Ana Grey . . . Ana s nuanced and coolly observational narrative voice perfectly complements the well-paced action, which builds to a satisfying conclusion that leaves open the next chapter of Ana s story. Publishers Weekly (starred) Smith does a convincing job of conveying the trials of maintaining a dual identity . . . The narrative is fast-paced without becoming frantic, and the intertwining story lines are deftly handled. Highly recommended. Library Journal (starred) A demonic ride through undercover terrain . . . Smith creates an undercover training regime for Ana that the FBI might do well to emulate. She s so expert at implanting stress that you could become bipolar just from reading one chapter. Feisty, disturbing and exceptionally well done. Kirkus Reviews (starred)
