Praise For Tracy Clark

“Clark writes with purpose, her sense of social justice never venturing into dogma but remaining fully rooted in Raines’s actions and personality. She saves, but is no savior, because she operates in a world where survival is the benchmark, and pain remains in the aftermath.” — The New York Times

In 4 Mysteries Shot Through With Malice and Grief Sarah Weinman at The New York Times recommends ECHO, saying, “Clark’s understanding of how the search for justice can be perverted into revenge is acute, and informs the gasp-inducing conclusion.”

“Once again, Tracy Clark has truly captured the beating heart of a homicide detective, memorializing it to the literary page. Echo, a Detective Harriet Foster thriller, may just be Clark’s best novel to date. Incredible!”
— Bruce Robert Coffin, international bestselling coauthor of the Turner and Mosley Files

“Tracy Clark’s not-so-hidden talent is for conjuring characters who are engaging and achingly real. Detective Harri Foster is a stellar recruit to her new team and to our crime fiction shelves.”
— Lori Rader Day, award-winning author of Death At Greenwa

“Clark has a unique voice in the P.I. genre, one that is articulate, daring and ultimately hopeful.” — S.A. Cosby, Anthony-awarding winning writer, for The Washington Post

“This street-smart first mystery boasts great characterization and a terrific new protagonist. Get this writer on your radar now.” —Booklist

“Engrossing and superbly written—I can’t say enough good things about Broken Places!” —Lisa Black, New York Times bestselling author of That Darkness and Unpunished

“Unforgettable. . . . Distinctive, vividly written characters lift this promising debut. Readers will be eager for the sequel.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

“Clark’s compelling, suspenseful, and action-packed debut introduces a dogged, tough African American woman investigator who is complex and courageous and surrounded by a family of fascinating misfits. Fans of Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Millhone or Sara Paretsky’s VI Warshawski will welcome Cass Raines to their ranks.” –Library Journal (Starred Review)
