Praise for White Heat
Praise for White Heat:
White Heat is a "…taut crime yarn set in 1992 against the turmoil of the Los Angeles riots that followed the acquittal of the police officers charged with assaulting motorist Rodney King…. the author ably evokes the chaos that erupted after the Rodney King verdict."
— Publishers Weekly
"White Heat" is a riveting read of mystery, much recommended.
— Midwest Book Review
“[White Heat] really caught early 90s LA, in all its sordid glory. And had me turning me pages late into the night. I think WH is up there with the best of the LA novels, but has an air of authenticity that many lack. Look
forward to reading Broken Windows.”
— Woody Haut,journalist, author of Neon Noir (Contemporary American Crime Fiction), Pulp Culture (Hardboiled Fiction & the Cold War), Heartbreak and Vine (The Fate of Hardboiled Writers in Hollywood)
"Expect the unexpected...in an action-walloping award-winner of harrowing twists and turns..."
— Gordon Hauptfleisch - Seattle Post Intelligencer and BlogCritics.org
A gripping tale of prejudice and deceit, set against the tumultuous backdrop of the 1992 L.A. riots. White Heat is all the title promises it to be.

Written in a staccato, noir style as Intense as the 1992 LA riots, White Heat is a stunning debut novel by LA native Paul Marks. It grabs you with he intensity of the riots and keeps the anxiety and tension pushing full-throttle right up to the bittersweet ending. Heat is a hard-hitting, noir detective thriller, that also deals with tough issues like racism, the "diversity" of racism, and the human condition."

Highly Successful Novelists" and
