Immoral

" In this compelling debut thriller, Freeman turns in a psychologically gripping, virtuoso performance, with a detective who is likely to return. He deftly lays bare the demons lurking in many of us while keeping us tantalized through a series of plot shifts. Highly recommended."

" ["Immoral"] may very well be one of the best debuts of 2005... a near pitch-perfect first novel that soars with believable characters, crisp dialogue and, for the most part, logical twists and turns...Jonathan Stride literally strides onto the page-- flawed, complicated, and very appealing."
- "South ""Florida"" Sun-Sentinel"
" In one of the more thrilling debuts to come along in a while, Freeman takes the reader on a gloriously chilling ride through a world where nothing is as it seems." - "New Mystery Reader" magazine
" With Stride, Freeman has created a world-weary detective with a strong moral compass and determination. Tightly written with a strong sense of place and character... a compelling read."

" [B]e warned. Inthe manner of the finest thrillers, nothing is as it seems in Freeman'' s devilish story of revenge and double-cross." - "Orlando"" Sentinel"
"Breathtakingly real and utterly compelling, Immoral dishes up page-turning psychological suspense while treating us lucky readers to some of the most literate and stylish writing you''ll find anywhere today."-- Jeffery Deaver, author of "The Twelfth Card" and "Garden"" of ""Beasts"""
" The writing is tough, muscular and shot through with such a sense of loss, torment, longing, torn innocence that it'' s downright Celtic in its sorrow. Just as the reader and Stride figure to have the case wrapped, there'' s a sucker punch you never saw coming-- and it hurts wonderfully. The novel is reminiscent of Lehane, of such works as "Gone Baby Gone," and "Sacred," when Lehane was writing this darkest, bruised, compassionate self. Freeman'' s novel is one hell of a read, gut wrenching and moving, exciting and powerful. Any book that makes you want to fly to Vegas gets my bet. Stride on." -- Ken Bruen, author of "The Killing of the Tinkers"
"Who is Brian Freeman? This guy can tell a story. "Immoral" is a page-turner of the highest caliber. It has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing until the end."-- Michael Connelly, author of "The Closers"
