Review Quotes
"Author James L'Etoile ruined my whole work day. I was going to focus on my own stuff, and discovered I couldn't put down his latest thriller, DEVIL WITHIN. The fact is, L'Etoile is rapidly becoming one of my favorites, and DEVIL WITHIN, the sequel to the award-winning Dead Drop will show you why. As the US border crisis persists along the Arizona border, the story addresses the thorny issues faced by law enforcement, the immigrants themselves, and society writ large--but he manages to do so without the taint of politics or ideology, but rather the clear-eyed practicality derived from the author's years of experience as a law-enforcement professional.
But make no mistake, DEVIL WITHIN is a thriller, and all that implies; propelled by fascinating characters and action that will move you to the very edge of your favorite reading chair. L'Etoile perfectly captures the ambience and ethos of contemporary Arizona, and delves into the complexities and dangers faced by a no-nonsense, heads-up sheriff's detective, deftly weaving a swiftly-moving narrative that is both compelling and suspenseful, overarched by a unique sense of compassion.
DEVIL WITHIN is a finely crafted thriller, a story in perpetual motion--a story at once timeless and resonant with today's headlines--and written with the sure hand and confidence of a gifted and imaginative author. I forgive you, James L'Etoile, for derailing my day's writing plans. But it was most certainly worth it. Highly recommended."
