Praise
Praise for Tower of Babel
Winner of the 2022 Nero Award
“Sears’s Tower of Babel is a fascinating bit of alchemy brewed of real estate, money, murder and betrayal.”
—Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times bestselling author
“Tower of Babel is so full of New York characters and locations that you’d swear it was written on asphalt. It has no potholes, though, just a fast-moving and, because it involves corrupt politicians and shady real estate developers, completely believable plot. If you live here, you’ll love it. If you don’t, read it to see what makes us the way we are.”
—SJ Rozan, bestselling author of Paper Son
“A contemporary Philip Marlowe comes to Queens in this wonderfully engaging caper . . . Sears absolutely nails the voice of his endearingly vulnerable tarnished-lawyer turned sleuth—Tower of Babel is a terrific book.”
—Hank Phillippi Ryan, bestselling and award-winning author of The Murder List
“Michael Sears launches a bold action-packed series that delves into ambition, redemption, morality and the changing landscape of Queens . . . [An] action-packed financial thriller.”
—Oline Cogdill, Shelf Awareness
“If one word can be used to describe a trait predominant in Sears’s world, it is hunger. His characters, full of energy and street smarts, pulse with appetite, a sense of want, and he wastes no time using food and eating as a motif to exemplify this want . . . Queens comes alive in this book in all its diversity.”
—Criminal Element
“Sears introduces a new hero to his world of high-finance thrillers: a soiled, likable Queens ex-lawyer whose highly questionable business practices are radically challenged by the murder of his partner . . . Even if you’re not already sold on Queens, Sears makes real estate law as sexy and dangerous as international intrigue.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Razor-edged prose, sharply defined characters, and a fast-paced plot boost this noir-wrought drama. Fans of Raymond Chandler and classic gangster films will be rewarded.”
—Publishers Weekly
“The first in a new series by Shamus Award–winner Sears is full of terrific writing and richly developed characters . . . [Sears’s] Jason Stafford financial thrillers have made quite an impression with critics and readers, and this new series promises to be just as strong.”
