Where the Bones Lie

“Where the Bones Lie isn’t just Nick Kolakowski’s strongest novel yet, it’s a helluva page-turner, loaded with sinister humor, a twisty plot, and the kind of complicated characters readers deserve. Don’t miss this one.”  – Alex Segura, author of Secret Identity and Alter Ego “Sharp, gritty, and knowing, Where the Bones Lie is a road trip into California’s gleaming, seething underbelly. Movie stars, mobsters, wildfires – buckle up and hold on for a heady ride.” – Meg Gardiner, #1 New York Times bestselling author ""Where the Bones Lie crackles and burns like the wildfires chasing its cagey characters from one deathtrap to the next. Nick Kolakowski has dragged the California noir out of the ashes and into the 21st century."" – Scott Von Doviak, author of Lowdown Road ""Although noir wasn't born on the sun-scorched streets of LA, it took to them like a natural. Now the seas are rising and the hills are burning but Hollywood continues on, more in need of its cleaners and fixers than ever. Nick Kolakowski slots his beautifully-drawn characters deftly into the dark mechanism on the flip side of fame. A propulsive pace, first-class dialog, and a setting so hot you can feel it made this a book I couldn't put down. Highly recommended."" – SJ Rozan, bestselling author of  The Mayors of New York “Nick Kolakowski’s Where the Bones Lie starts off in fifth gear and never slows down. This is the best detective novel I’ve read in years.” – Steve Weddle, author of The County Line
