Description: "[An] A-ticket thrill-ride As enthralling as a tale by the Brothers Grimm." -Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal "Take a pinch of brilliant characters. Stir in some snappy dialogue and a helping of high-octane plot. Blend with a fantastically spooky location and serve hot. Carsten Stroud's bouillabaisse of a new novel is a simmering read; one part thriller, one part suspense, and taken with a hefty sprinkling of supernatural hot spice, it's one of the most compulsive page-turners of the year." -A.J. Kirby, The New York Journal of Books "A generous collection of memorable villains, tight action sequences, and an occasional bit of black humor." - Booklist "Terrific dialogue, oddball characters, and a wild story make this a great read." -Elmore Leonard, author of Get Shorty and Out of Sight "Carsten Stroud's hard-boiled and engrossing Niceville rockets around its deceptively staid southern town, pulling bad guys and worse guys and long-ago misdeeds into a widening and unfolding tale about every kind of wickedness. Somehow it manages to get tighter, nastier, and more delightful as it rolls along toward its lovely and completely black-hearted final pages." -Peter Straub "A compelling work that grabs your attention from page one." -Karin Slaughter A truly one-of-a-kind tour de force, Niceville may be hard to categorize by genre, but it's easy to describe as a reading experience wildly, insanely entertaining! -John Lescroart
