Judas Horse

Praise

"A feverishly pitched adventure . . . that thunders right off the page."—The New York Times Book Review“A pulse-pounding thriller.”—USA Today “Fast, harrowing, and breathtaking.”—The New York Sun"A genuinely scarifying thriller . . . has the momentum of a theme-park ride."—Los Angeles Times“Why does the FBI still seem so sexy? Part of the reason is murder mysteries like April Smith’s Judas Horse . . . It’s creepy, chest-thumping stuff, with snitches and loyalty tests and the good guys and villains constantly in flux.”—Los Angeles Magazine“Smith’s superb third thriller to feature Ana Grey . . . Ana’s nuanced and coolly observational narrative voice perfectly complements the well-paced action, which builds to a satisfying conclusion that leaves open the next chapter of Ana’s story.”—Publishers Weekly (starred)“Smith does a convincing job of conveying the trials of maintaining a dual identity . . . The narrative is fast-paced without becoming frantic, and the intertwining story lines are deftly handled. Highly recommended.”—Library Journal (starred)“A demonic ride through undercover terrain . . . Smith creates an undercover training regime for Ana that the FBI might do well to emulate. She’s so expert at implanting stress that you could become bipolar just from reading one chapter. Feisty, disturbing and exceptionally well done.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred)
