Reviews for the novel are in:

"(The) ruthless mobsters, dirty cops, shades-of-gray hero ring with authenticity. A clever setup and neat, twisty plot, and you have a gritty, action-packed read." --Edgar Award winner Julie Smith

"Hustmyre brings to life the dark underworld of The Big Easy reminiscent of Raymond Chandler’s Los Angeles. Detective fiction doesn’t get any better than this!" --Gary C. King, author of RAGE and AN ALMOST PERFECT MURDER

"House of the Rising Sun is a great ride. Grab this book and head down to the wrong side of New Orleans. You won't regret it." --Criminal Profiler Pat Brown, author of THE PROFILER: MY LIFE HUNTING SERIAL KILLERS AND PSYCHOPATHS

"The hard-boiled tale, the disgraced ex-vice cop, the bloody, filthy underworld of the New Orleans French Quarter. This is classic gritty crime fiction." --Matthew Randazzo V, author of MR. NEW ORLEANS: THE LIFE OF A BIG EASY UNDERWORLD LEGEND

"House of the Rising sun is lean, mean, and nasty. Hustmyre's spare, hardboiled prose instantly grabs hold and takes you on a great ride. A book for those who like their thrillers grim and dirty." --Simon Read, author of WAR OF WORDS: A TRUE TALE OF NEWSPRINT AND MURDER
