Praise for WHITE HEAT

"White Heat" is a riveting read of mystery, much recommended.

—Midwest Book Review

“[White Heat] really caught early 90s LA, in all its sordid glory. And had me turning me pages late into the night. I think WH is up there with the best of the LA novels, but has an air authenticity that many lack. Look forward to reading Broken Windows.”

— Woody Haut, journalist, author of Neon Noir
(Contemporary American Crime Fiction), Pulp Culture (Hardboiled Fiction & the Cold War), Heartbreak and Vine (The Fate of Hardboiled Writers in Hollywood)

"Expect the unexpected...in an action-walloping award-winner of harrowing twists and turns..."

— Gordon Hauptfleisch - Seattle Post Intelligencer and BlogCritics.org

While looking for clues on a murder case, P.I. Duke Rogers finds himself in a racially charged situation. The case might have to wait.... The immediate problem: getting out of South Central Los Angeles in one piece – during the 1992 "Rodney King" riots – and that's just the beginning of his problems.

Praise for WHITE HEAT:

A gripping tale of prejudice and deceit, set against the tumultuous backdrop of the 1992 L.A. riots. White Heat is all the title promises it to be.

— Darrell James, award winning
author of Nazareth Child

Written in a staccato, noir style as Intense as the 1992 LA riots, White Heat is a stunning debut novel by LA native Paul Marks. It grabs you with he intensity of the riots and keeps the anxiety and tension pushing full-throttle right up to the bittersweet ending. Heat is a hard-hitting, noir detective thriller, that also deals with tough issues like racism, the "diversity" of racism, and the human condition."

—Andrew McAleer, best-selling author of
"The 101 Habits of Highly Successful Novelist"
and "Fatal Deeds"
