| "POWERFUL...A PAGE-TURNER OF SUBSTANCE...When [F.B.I. agent] Ana Grey is given a high-profile case involving a Hollywood actress who claims that her doctor has hooked her on illegal drugs, Ana's own puzzling history collides with her investigation and she must face an uncomfortable truth about her family and herself."--People "COMPULSIVELY READABLE...A notably literate crime novel about all manner of social dividing lines--race, gender, age, class--in the rude stew of L.A.'s human melting pot."--New York Newsday "FINELY WRITTEN...FULL OF SURPRISES...Smith brings an expert sense of pace to this first novel. But it is her engaging style, which blends lyric descriptions with crackling dialogue, that makes NORTH OF MONTANA such a pleasure to read."--The Wall Street Journal "A BREATHLESS READ FROM THE VERY FIRST SENTENCE...This baby zips along with all the jolt of a double espresso."--USA Today "ABSORBING...ANA IS AN ENGAGING HEROINE whose blend of gutsiness, humor and vulnerability may bring to mind another California crime specialist, Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone."--The New York Times Book Review A MAIN SELECTION OF THE LITERARY GUILD© From a new voice in suspense comes a novel about a female FBI agent. "Powerful . . . a page-turner of substance . . .--People. | |
| Industry reviews | |
| "What a terrific novel! The writing has the taut, perfect tone of a well-tuned string and the story goes forward with tremendous momentum from the very start, even though it is also a book that deepens with each page." Scott Turow "'North of Montana' cooks! It's a righteously spirited cruise through present-day L. A.--a deft and witty journey illuminated by wild sparkles of humor and heart-tugging ruminations....Ana Grey, the heroine/narrator, is a provocative protagonist, something like a hybrid of Carole Lombard and Batwoman. She may well become a major crime series mainstay." James Ellroy "Gripping, provocative....This one's got it all: a topnotch plot, masterful writing and outstanding characterization and dialogue, and a wonderful quirky heroine." Maron "Finely written...full of surprises...Smith brings an expert sense of pace to his first novel. But it is her engaging style, which blends lyric descriptions with crackling dialogue, that makes 'North of Montana' such a pleasure to read." Maron | |
