May the Wolf Die

“An intriguing mystery, a smart central character to root for, gorgeous setting, and authentic detail. This tense and brooding debut is everything crime fiction should be.” –Dervla McTiernan, author of The Murder Rule and The Ruin

“Heider delivers an intricate and impressive debut…Nikki, in particular, jumps off the page, with her struggles as a woman in law enforcement vividly highlighted. Toss in a pulse-pounding climax, and Heider has a promising potential series on her hands.”
–Publisher’s Weekly Starred Review

“The Neapolitan setting and the details of underwater investigation give Heider’s debut an offbeat and entertaining gloss…A lively procedural with a high-powered heroine and a setting that would be idyllic if not for those murders.”
–Kirkus Review

“May the Wolf Die…bowled me over with its descriptions of Naples — seedy, beautiful, baroque — and the trials and tribulations of its main character, Nikki Serafino.”
–New York Times Book Review

“May the Wolf Die is a brilliant thriller, cleverly crafted and unpredictable.”
–Criminal Element

“[An] energetic, labyrinthine police procedural. Heider invests her debut with a strong sense of place with complicated, believable characters and authentic details…Heider is off to an impressive start in her new series with May the Wolf Die.”
