Love Lies by Marcia Shein

Shein has created a riveting account of the drug world that is at once intimate and large in scope. She has the ability to create hair raising tension and action that makes it all but impossible to put the book down. This is all heightened by the fact that much of the story is based on real events. Love Lies stirs emotions and the reader finds oneself anxiously wanting relief for its protagonist and revenge against the drug thugs. It has all the elements of an exiting read and because of its highwire action and vividly observed visuals I would love to see it translated to film or television as a series. Bravo to a first time novelist.
