Blue Avenue: First in a Noir Mystery Series Set in Jacksonville, Florida: 1 (A Daniel Turner Mystery) - Softcover

"Wiley is extremely good at creating an atmosphere of menacing dread. New shocks occur all the way to the last page--and continue as readers reflect on what they've just witnessed."--Publishers Weekly Starred Review

"The plot, fueled by a steadily rising body count, boils furiously until it reaches a climax that's both utterly predictable and powerfully unnerving."--Kirkus Reviews

"Excellent noir that will attract readers who appreciate the anguished protagonists of Steve Hamilton and Loren D. Estleman."--Library Journal Starred Review

"The revelations will reward readers' patience."--Booklist
