PRAISE FOR REAVIS Z. WORTHAM

“All-out murder and mayhem, modern-day issues and bad guys, old-fashioned law enforcement—Reavis Z. Wortham and his ‘cattle cop’ Tucker Snow take us on another thrill ride with their trademark country wit and Texas charm in The Broken Truth.”
—Pamela Fagan Hutchins, USA Today bestselling author of the Detective Delaney Pace crime thrillers and the Patrick Flint historical mysteries

“With The Broken Truth, Reavis Z. Wortham once again earns his readers’ attention and respect in the most time-honored of ways: the inimitable skill of weaving a compelling yarn that makes one sorry to reach the end. This second entry in the Tucker Snow series is pitch-perfect, the author’s eye for detail and ear for dialogue operating in top form. There’s enough authentic Texas grit to scratch that Western genre itch, and enough contemporary tech and investigative action to keep the pages turning for the contemporary thriller aficionado. Wortham expertly operates along the borderline between the neo-Western and the modern-day crime thriller without a visible seam. Highly recommended.”
—Baron Birtcher, Los Angeles Times bestselling author of Reckoning

“Reavis Z. Wortham knows Texas, Texans, and how to write rock-solid thrillers and mysteries. The Broken Truth starts with a bang and never lets up. A wild, unpredictable ride.”
—Johnny D. Boggs, Nine-time Spur Award winner from Western Writers of America

“Hard Country checks all the boxes: a nonstop thriller plot, characters who are so real we’re sure we’ve crossed paths in real life, and a breathtaking portrait—both searing and sympathetic—of a small town, from an author whose compelling voice and keenly observant eye transport us there. Wortham is known for his protagonists and Tucker Snow is one of his all-time best: sharp, uncompromising, wry, thoroughly human, and the one thing we don’t see enough of nowadays: a dyed-in-the-wool hero.”
—Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author

“Wortham, who hails from rural Texas, is writing about people and a place he knows very well, and this knowledge shows: his laid-back writing style, robust characters, and dialogue that sounds like it’s spoken by actual people combine to tell a story that… feels completely realistic. Another winner from a writer who seems to produce nothing but winners.”
—Booklist on The Rock Hole

“The cinematic characters have substance and a pulse. They walk off the page and talk Texas.”
—The Dallas Morning News on Burrows

“Wortham is a masterful and entertaining storyteller. Set in East Texas in 1967, Vengeance is Mine is equal parts Joe R. Lansdale and Harper Lee, with a touch of Elmore Leonard.”
—Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine

“Wortham’s characters are complex and genuine… They act real, they talk real—it’s easy for readers to slip right into the story and want to stay awhile.”
—Roundup Magazine on Laying Bones

“Wortham’s writing style is easygoing, relying on natural-sounding dialogue and vivid descriptions to give us the feeling that this story could well have taken place. Another fine entry in a mystery series that deserves more attention.”
