"DEAD WOOD is a superbly written thriller...a tour de force." 
--Bookiio.com

"Dani  Amore is a sensation among Kindle owners who love fast-paced thrillers."   
 --Mystery Tribune

"From its opening lines, Dani Amore and her private eye novel DEAD
WOOD recall early James Ellroy.  This is the first new private
eye novel in a long time that just swept me along for the ride.  Amore is
definitely one to watch."
-- Edgar-nominated author Craig McDonald

Dani Amore's writing reminds me of the great thriller writers --
lean, mean, no nonsense prose that gets straight to the point and keeps
you turning those pages."--author Robert Gregory Browne

In the exclusive enclave of Grosse Pointe, Michigan, a woman who builds custom guitars is murdered. A disgraced ex-cop turned private investigator is hired by the dead woman's father and immediately becomes the target of a violent ex-convict. An enigmatic music star performs damage control on her links to the dead woman. And a professional killer who idolizes Keith Richards is brought into town by a mysterious employer.

Dead Wood is what great mysteries are all about: love, hate, faith and vengeance, all wrapped up in an explosive story that simply refuses to let up.

"As gritty as the Detroit streets where it's set, DEAD WOOD grabs you early
on and doesn't let go. As fine a a debut as you'll come across this
year, maybe any year." --author Tom Schreck
