"The Paramour's Daughter gripped me and didn't let go. Wendy Hornsby explores new territory, France, and nails it with savoir faire and the perfect detail, threading history through the current day with Maggie MacGowen's voice. Tough and idealistic, Maggie is a heroine we want in our corner."
-- Cara Black, author of the bestselling Aimée Leduc Investigations
"The joy of Wendy Hornsby's books has always been as much her characters and the relationships among them as the story itself. The Paramour's Daughter, which finds Maggie MacGowen having to re-align everything she knows not about someone else, but herself, delivers this same subtlety and truth."
-- SJ Rozan, Edgar-winning author of The Shanghai Moon

"Hornsby handles the diversity of cultures -- gangs, barrios, homeless, cops, filmmaking -- adeptly as Maggie's probing stirs up a toxic residue of unsolved killings that again proves fatal. It's good to see Maggie back in action."
-- Publishers Weekly
"In the Guise of Mercy manages to be both tough and heartfelt from the first page to the last. Anyone who wants to know why Hornsby won an Edgar should read In the Guise of Mercy immediately."
-- Timothy Hallinan, author of Breathing Water, from Morrow
"A suspenseful ride through L.A.'s rainbow streets, this deftly plotted tale and its smart, tender heroine should win many hearts. Los Angeles comes alive in all its grit, glitz, grift and natural grandeur."
-- Denise Hamilton, author of The Last Embrace and editor of Los Angeles Noir, an anthology
