The Intrigue

Lush and passionate with magnetic prose, The Intrigue takes up the mantle of true noir classics like Double Indemnity or Black Wings Has My Angel, and reinvigorates the genre with a new perspective. Silvia Moreno-Garcia writes with the soul of a sensualist and the eye of a practiced observer of human nature. The Intrigue will grab you by the throat and won’t let go until its earth-shaking finale! * S.A. Crosby, author of KING OF ASHES *Silvia Moreno-Garcia has a great gift for making you cheer for things you shouldn’t in her books, and The Intrigue is no exception. As the deception and the bodies mount, I rooted increasingly for this Bonnie & Clyde to get away clean with the loot. Do they? Read and find out; you won’t be sorry! * Kate Quinn, author of THE ALICE NETWORK *A pulpy noir-telenovela mashup that would make James M. Cain jealous * L.A. Times *From its expertly evoked settings to its flawlessly paced plot, everything about Moreno-Garcia’s latest exudes noir at its very best * Library Journal (starred review) *Moreno-Garcia keeps the power dynamics unstable in this deliciously dark thriller, with most of the characters concealing momentous secrets that inform their respective motivations. The resulting fireworks are difficult to look away from * Publishers Weekly *
