He just keeps getting better.”   ★★★★★ “I can't get enough of this series. The characters are easy to wrap up in and the writing is spirited and humorous.”   ★★★★★ “Up all night. Took me two nights to read it. Staying up till the wee hours of the morning reminded me of being a kid again, and reading by flashing under the covers.”   ★★★★★ “Why 5 stars? The characters who drive the plot have depth, reality, humor, and flaws. The author \"lets\" each character compliment the others.

Really enjoyed how the story unfolded, developed, and concluded.”   ★★★★★ “Great hard-boiled detective novel. Dave Stanton is the best in the business.

Highly recommend!”   ★★★★★ “The characters pop, the action is hot, the criminals truly monstrous, the victims incredibly complex, and the ending is great.”   ★★★★★ “Great Writing!! I binged the Dan Reno series! Authentic writing and relevant to today's world not to mention wildly entertaining!!! Wow!!”   ★★★★★ “A Great Read. I was able to complete this book in one setting, and that was good because I could not have paused for anything. The writing just flows and keeps the images alive in the reader's mind.”   ★★★★★ “I was kept in suspense, wondering how all of it would be resolved, and I love that. This book wasn't the typical, predictable scenario. I love the character development.”   ★★★★★ “Stanton just keeps getting better! I read this one in less than 10 hours, nearly record time for me. His story had a lot of depth, great character development, and a plot that held my attention from beginning to the very end.”   ★★★★★ “Many layers, great characters and a brilliant plot are all worth the price of admission. Dave Stanton has a real winner here....again!”","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53005772652817,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53005773242641,"sku":"NGR9781036710149","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781036710149.jpg?v=1767881263"},{"product_id":"hard-prejudice-book-dave-stanton-9781036710132","title":"Hard Prejudice","description":"The DNA evidence should have made the rape a slam dunk case.   But after the evidence disappeared from a police locker, the man accused of brutally raping a popular actor’s daughter walked free. Hired by the actor, private detective Dan Reno’s job seemed simple enough: discover who took the DNA, and why. Problem is, from the beginning of the investigation, neither Reno, the South Lake Tahoe police, nor anyone else have any idea what the motivation could be to see ghetto thug Duante Tucker get away with the crime. Not even Reno’s best friend, fellow investigator Cody Gibbons, has a clue.   When Reno and Gibbons tail Tucker, they learn the rapist is linked to various criminals and even a deserter from the U.S. Marine Corps. But they still can’t tell who would want him set free, and for what reason?   Things get murkier when Tucker visits a restaurant whose owners are suspected terrorists. Then Cody’s ex-boss, a San Jose police captain, is found to be dallying with Tucker’s sister. The clues continue to build until Reno and Cody find themselves targeted for death. That tells Reno he’s getting close, so he and Gibbons put the pedal to the metal. The forces of evil are running out of time, and the action reaches a boiling point before an explosive conclusion that reveals a sinister plot and motivations that Reno never imagined.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53005774422289,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53005775143185,"sku":"NGR9781036710132","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781036710132.jpg?v=1767881270"},{"product_id":"last-boundary-book-dave-stanton-9781036710170","title":"The Last Boundary","description":"Time is running out for a runaway teenage girl.   A sixteen-year-old girl has abandoned her Mormon family for a pimp. Her father is devastated and asks his church’s elders to help hire a private investigator.

As Reno searches for the pimp, he knows every day is critical, for the naïve teenager has thrown herself into the mouth of a monster. But the pimp lives off the grid, and without a digital footprint, he’s difficult to find.

When Reno’s old buddy, investigator Cody Gibbons, arrives in Las Vegas to visit his daughter, he insists on helping.

It’s a nice thought, but when a band of crooked cops get involved, Reno finds himself not only earning every penny of his paycheck, but also fighting for his life.   Who committed the murder, and why? Which cops can he trust, if any? Haunted by his murdered father and a violent, hard drinking past, Reno wants no more blood on his hands. But a man’s got to make a living, and backing off is not in his DNA. Traversing the snowy alpine winter in the Sierras and the lonely deserts of Nevada, Reno must revert to his old ways to survive. Because the fat bounty won’t do him much good if he’s dead.   Stateline is a gritty, adrenaline-fueled ride from start to finish, packed with vividly portrayed characters. Brilliantly written, it will keep you turning the pages late into the night.   Perfect for fans of Lee Child, Michael Connelly, James Patterson, David Baldacci, and Robert Crais.   What readers say about Stateline (from Amazon reviews):   ★★★★★ “This is a super, hard-hitting murder mystery. I would give it more than five stars, if possible. The action never stops.

Dan Reno rocks!!”   ★★★★★ “If you like murder mysteries and sleuthing tales, and aren't squeamish about sex, violence, or language, you WILL LOVE THIS BOOK!”   ★★★★★ “I love to read old school hard-hitting crime novels. That what's you get with Dan Reno. Hard hitting, take no prisoners. We need more men like Dan Reno.”   ★★★★★ “Excellently plotted thriller, never loses momentum and a sort of inverted, manic vitality.”   ★★★★★ “Dave Stanton is what l would call a writer. That is the style of writing l REALLY enjoy.”   ★★★★★ “I've been searching for a really good hard-boiled detective writer for quite a while. I found what I was looking for in Dave Stanton's Stateline.”   ★★★★★ “Great book! Gritty and grownup, Stateline breaks the mold of popular fiction. By giving human flaws their due attention, the characters become rich and believable.”   ★★★★★ “Wow! Talk about a fast-paced, keep-you-guessing, mystery that will have you glued to it until the end. I'm definitely looking for more to read by Dave Stanton!”   ★★★★★ “Stanton's characters Dan Reno and Cody Gibbons reminded me of James Lee Burke's characters Dave Robicheaux and Clete Purcell. And if that isn't high enough praise I found Stateline to be as enjoyable as CJ Box's Joe Pickett novels. This dude can write.”","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53005860045073,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53005860569361,"sku":"NGR9781036710095","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781036710095.jpg?v=1767881917"},{"product_id":"asylum-thread-book-dave-stanton-9781036710163","title":"The Asylum Thread","description":"Humiliated by a serial rapist in court, South Lake Tahoe’s sheriff and district attorney turn to Dan Reno for justice.   Dealing with his fiancée’s mental breakdown, Reno welcomes the distraction, but he knows the case makes no sense. Short of killing the criminal, what can he do?   Regardless, Reno begins investigating. As he peels back the layers, he learns the rapist has a genius IQ and is the brother of a Silicon Valley billionaire. Traveling to San Jose, Reno hooks up with his partner, Cody Gibbons, who has little patience or mercy for sexual predators. But the more they uncover about the rapist and his family, the deeper they descend into a grim rabbit hole with no clean exit.   Desperate for an angle, Reno and Gibbons finally find the necessary leverage, and a bloody reckoning becomes inevitable. But the resolution is one Reno never considered, and it’s only then that he learns how both criminal behavior and justice can be their own form of insanity.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53005861355793,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53005861912849,"sku":"NGR9781036710163","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781036710163.jpg?v=1767881921"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-dave-stanton.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
