THE GEORGIA DAVIS SERIES
“Hellmann brings to life the reality of hazing and bullying among teenage girls in a story with enough twists and turns to keep you reading to the end. Highly recommended.”
—Library Journal (starred review)
“Just what’s needed in a mystery... Depth of characterization sets this new entry apart from a crowded field.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Libby Hellmann can get into the mind of a character, whether the character is a mentally ill man or a teenage girl. PI Georgia Davis, the no-nonsense heart of this tale... finds a darkness I didn’t see coming. This is good stuff, very good stuff.”
—Stuart M. Kaminsky, Grand Master, Mystery Writers of America
“There’s a new no-nonsense female private detective in town: Georgia Davis, a former cop who is tough and smart enough to give even the legendary V.I. Warshawski a run for her money... Hellmann knows how to distill the essence of a character in a few unadorned but dead-right sentences.”
—Dick Adler, Chicago Tribune
“Hellmann’s done her homework here and it shows: the writing is assured, the voices authentic, and the understanding both of criminal investigations and relationships among cops, lawyers and prosecutors come to life with great urgency. Davis’ arrival on the mean streets is long overdue.”
—Sara Paretsky, author of the V.I. Warshawski series

SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE
“A tremendous thriller, sweeping but intimate, elegiac but urgent, subtle but intense... this story really does set the night on fire.”
—Lee Child
“Superior... Passion, pain, and protests emerge in vivid detail.”
—Chicago Tribune
“Set the Night on Fire is a compelling story of love, truth and redemption. This will be a break-out novel for this talented writer. Highly recommended.”
—Sheldon Siegel, New York Times best-selling author of Perfect Alibi
“A top-rate standalone thriller... A jazzy fusion of past and present, Hellman's insightful, politically charged whodunit explores a fascinating period in American history.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Top Pick! Electric! A marvelous novel.”

MORE ABOUT DAVID
THE WILD ONION SERIES
The Towman’s Daughters will be available in late September 2011.
The name “Chicago” is derived from a native American word for “wild onion.” So, when Kirsten, a former Chicago police investigator, opens up her private detective agency she calls it “Wild Onion, Ltd.”
Kirsten's husband, Dugan, is a lawyer who finds himself drawn into her cases. Though he may feign a reluctance to help, Dugan is actually far more intrigued with Kirsten's work than with his own.
“[David J. Walker] brings his crisp dialogue, a fine comic edge, and a cast of sharply drawn supporting characters to a new series... The spotlight, however, belongs to the leads, whose interplay is not cutesy, and will have readers looking forward to the next in the series.”
—Publishers Weekly
“There have been numerous attempts to create modern versions of Nick and Nora Charles, but [Walker's] Kirsten and Dugan are the most fun.”
—Booklist
Other books in the series: All the Dead Fathers (2005); The End of Emerald Woods (2000); A Beer at a Bawdy House (2000); A Ticket to Die For (1998)

SAVING PAULO
In Saving Paulo, three people—a young man going nowhere, a young woman with everything, and a self-proclaimed “seer”—are drawn together in a struggle to save a strange, silent little boy from murderous kidnappers.
“Taking a break from his two crime series, David J. Walker sticks to the genre in the very entertaining stand-alone Saving Paulo... Walker's writing will keep the reader glued, even if the last act seems a bit of a stretch with some of the actions taken. But the characters are so well-drawn, you won't mind.”
—Bruce Grossman, bookgasm.com
“Saving Paulo is that rare genre novel, a complex thriller with a compassionate heart. David J. Walker never neglects the elements that make us love novels of suspense, but his eye is also finely tuned to those nuances of human nature that allow us to care deeply about the characters he creates. This is a twisting, turning story about a group of misfits who do their best to rescue a boy worth saving, and Walker had me rooting for them every step of the way.”
—William Kent Krueger
“This is Edgar nominee Walker's first stand-alone thriller. Readers should be hooked from the first scene... What follows is a plunge into a protracted chase scene... through a wonderfully sustained suspense story.”
—Connie Fletcher, Booklist

THE MAL FOLEY SERIES
Chicago private investigator Malachy P. Foley was once a lawyer, but lost his license when he kept his word... by keeping his mouth shut. His license was suspended by the Illinois Supreme Court “until further order of Court” and, since he'll have to “demonstrate remorse for his misconduct” before he gets his license back, he may never practice law again.
“Wonderful characters abound in this deftly-plotted tale.”
—The Arm
chair Detective on Half the Truth
“Mr. Walker has given us a real gem here. The plotting is well worked out, Foley is interestingly complex, and the secondary characters enrich the book like well-chosen herbs in a thick broth.”
—Washington Times
“One of 2002's Top 5 Books”
—Gary Warren Niebuhr, Mystery News, on No Show of Remorse
“Walker has a gift for atmosphere—his Chicago, encompassing downtown with the University of Chicago on the south and Northwestern University to the north, is vividly rendered without being painted solely in 'private eye noir.' He also has a gift for action that takes sudden, startling, but eminently credible turns.”
