"Grab your fedoras, Raymond Chandler fans, there's a new noir fiction writer in town!"--Don, Staff Pick at Everett Mall Borders Store (2009).

The debut novel in the Alan Stewart Mystery series set in 1940's Seattle, from Best Selling Author Neil Low.

"I absolutely LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this book!! The plot and the story grab the reader from page one, and the characters are captivating. Neil Low is right up there with some of the best, like James Patterson, Lisa Scottoline, and Daniel Silva."--Linda Rose, Amazon Reviewer.

The number 3 Best-Selling Mystery Trade Paperback sold in Seattle (independent Mystery Booksellers Association, 2008).

Named a Historical Fiction Favorite by Seattle Times Readers (February 2010).

Overview: Why did a loyal son allow himself to sink into a quagmire of betrayal, violence, and forbidden sex? Could the Lindbergh kidnapping be connected to Seattle and the death of Alan Stewart's private investigator father? In a world where no one is whom they seem to be, Low's vivid imagination and fast paced tension keeps readers turning the pages from begining to end.

Reviews: "No one can write about cops and robbers like a real police officer. When they are good, they are very, very good, and Captain Neil Low IS VERY GOOD as he magically captures another era in Thick As Thieves. Reading it is akin to stepping into a film noir, shadow, smoky, and shocking."--Best Selling True Crime Author Ann Rule.

"...A morality play in which the line between right and wrong is as blurred as gray rain at twilight over Seattle's somber hills. Neil Low, a veteran Seattle cop, has seen it all."--Lowen Clausen, author of First Avenue, Second Watch, and Third and Forever.

"An intriguing and well-developed plot with intersting and well-designed characters."--Writer's Digest Magazine.

"An inside look at the dark side of law enforcement from a bygone time."--R. Gil Kerlikowske, National Drug Czar, Obama Adminstration, and former Chief of Police, Seattle PD.

**Think Quentin Taratino Meets Philip Marlowe in an LA Confidential kind of way**
