"Ellis spins a potent thriller."
"A page-turning potboiler. We like this book! The tone is a fusion of James Ellroy and James Carville."
—Philadelphia Daily News
"Access to Power depicts the superficiality and shrewdness of life on Capitol Hill. This political thriller packs a powerful punch."
—National Journal "Hotline"
"Before you can say 'Chinatown' we are immersed in a tale of mind-boggling corruption where virtually every character in the book has a hidden agenda. Ellis is a master plotter."

Bestselling Author Robert Ellis
"Ellis' powerhouse of a novel ... Ellis keeps everything in focus while building a staggering momentum."
—Booklist, Starred Review
"CITY OF ECHOES is a dark, gritty, one-sit read. Ellis' trademark plotting is on full display here."
—Bookreporter
"Only really good writers can make you feel so strongly. CITY OF ECHOES is another bravura effort from the talented Robert Ellis."
—Mystery Scene
"CITY OF ECHOES is an absorbing and entertaining read from first page to last and documents novelist Robert Ellis as a master of the genre."
—Midwest Book Review
"Scorching. Deliciously twisted. Nothing is what it appears to be. Ellis succeeds masterfully in both playing fair and pulling surprise after surprise in a story that feels like a runaway car plunging down a mountain road full of switchbacks."
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Ellis serves up a killer crime tale with riveting characters and relentless twists."
"Los Angeles, under a cloud of acrid smoke. Robert Ellis´s CITY OF FIRE is a gripping, spooky crime novel."
—The New York Times "HOT LIST" Pick
"CITY OF FIRE is my kind of crime novel. Gritty, tight and assured."
—Michael Connelly
"CITY OF FIRE features a tough but deeply flawed protagonist, a tantalizingly complex plot, fully realized -- and realistic -- characters, and most of all, a palpable intensity. And if that weren't enough, the bombshell plot twist at the novel's conclusion makes this an absolute must read for thriller aficionados."
—Chicago Tribune
“Ellis (City of Echoes, etc.) eases new readers into the second Matt-centric novel. Having previously suffered betrayal, Matt has good reason to be paranoid, which results in a gleefully tense sequel. His relationships are complex … the mystery is straightforward, and Matt’s propensity for repeatedly asking himself questions keeps him (and readers) focused. The author’s writing is tight. The ending effectively sets the stage for the next installment. A persistently gripping thriller with strong characters.”
—Kirkus Reviews

"With an early focus on the possible murders, Ellis' (The Love Killings, etc.) series entry is more thriller than mystery. The author works this to great effect as the story reveals the burden of unearthing evidence. Ellis generates an impressive amount of suspense. Solid entertainment."

With rookie detective Matt Jones recovering from the wounds he suffered in The Girl Buried in the Woods, and with his partner, Denny Cabrera, still hospitalized, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, Ryan Brooks, makes a late-night call requesting a small favor . . .
Brooks wants Jones to see something he’s working on. Something he can’t talk about on the phone. But when Jones shows up at the writer's house, he finds a horrific crime scene and knows he’s too late. There’s a killer with a secret loose in LA, and witnesses are dropping like flies. Jones rushes the investigation forward, his drive to turn over the stones of the past only matched by the killer’s will to keep that secret buried. Out of time and out of luck, Jones soon becomes the killer’s next target. But then he makes the most shocking discovery of his life.
He finds the killer’s secret …
A Killer's Secret. A City's Fate. A Detective Backed into a Corner.
