Reviews

Where the Bones Lie isnt just Nick Kolakowskis strongest novel yet, its a helluva page-turner, loaded with sinister humor, a twisty plot, and the kind of complicated characters readers deserve. Dont miss this one.
Alex Segura, author of Secret Identity and Alter Ego

Nick Kolakowskis Where the Bones Lie starts off in fifth gear and never slows down. This is the best detective novel Ive read in years.
