Stone has a grand story to tell, and he does it with panache. Its the story of a city and an era (the Reagan reference isnt gratuitous), at once hilarious and tragic. Its a story filled with characters that range from honorable to morally ambiguous to frighteningly evil. Its filled with voodoo rituals, crooked cops, street life, and wrenching descriptions. . . . Brilliant. - Booklist (starred review)Nick Stones first novel, Mr. Clarinet, took the crime fiction world by storm-winning enthusiastic raves (Exquisite -South Florida Sun-Sentinel; A spellbinding thriller of the highest order -Chicago Tribune) as well as a Macavity and a CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award. In The King of Swords, Stone brings back Detective Max Mingus in a chilling and mesmerizing prequel that combines murder, police corruption, and voodoo black magic. The King of Swords blazes with Miami heat-and it earns Nick Stone a permanent spot in the winners circle alongside the masters James Ellroy, Dennis Lehane, James Lee Burke, Walter Mosley, and Stephen King.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51599060074784,"sku":"NEW0060897325","price":16.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71Qxeq6IyYL.jpg?v=1778460575","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-king-of-swords-0060897325","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
