REVIEW FROM BOOKWENCHES "Gangster Moll is a unique story that takes twists and turns that will leave the reader's jaw on the floor. This is a story of love, mistakes, and deceit. The story wasn't what I thought it would be, and I was pleasantly surprised by the turn it took. I felt completely sympathetic to Cheryl. Her pain and angst came across in the pages with undeniable clarity. Her choices in the story are hard to understand and grasp for me personally, but I feel that Ms. Lewis made a winning choice with the storyline and the avenues it followed. Brian brought out an entirely different set of feelings in me. I couldn't stand him from the beginning, and my feelings only escalated as the story progressed. The author does an outstanding job of leading the reader into a gamut of feelings throughout the book. The book progresses at a quick pace, and the story unfolds without even a hint of what is coming next. There is a bit of a shock factor in some of the references, but I think it added to the understanding of the characterizations. I can't wait to see what else Ms. Lewis might have on tap. She has a unique flair for storytelling." REVENGE is the exciting new sequel to the best-selling story, Gangster Moll. When the husband Cheryl murdered comes back to haunt her, she believes it’s his ghost one minute and then dismisses that as nonsense the next. This torment catapults her into a terrifying world where vengeance from beyond the grave seems more and more likely, and she is driven to desperate measures in a bid to survive....

    Soon he stumbles onto a packet of photos showing Governor Virginia Rentier lustily paired with three high-ranking women in state government. Though Cinder and the Governor clashed sixteen years before when his wife died in a car accident, Cinder prefers to keep his dislike of Rentier focused on her politics. He's too busy blaming himself for his wife's death, fighting his way back into his son's life, and leading a crew of lazy secessionist misfits to become involved in an intrigue about the Governor's sex partners. But when the bullets fly, Nat asks questions, and learns that his sudden war with the Governor traces back sixteen years. And that the photos were put in his path by a provocateur who knows Nat Cinder's a rough-hewn rebel with enough weaponry cached across Arizona to start a revolution, and that the secret at the bottom of his wife's death will turn him into a powder keg. TREAD is what fans of Clayton Lindemuth's "thrilling, visceral, and unsparing" prose (Publishers Weekly) have been waiting for: a novel that pairs his lean noir voice with the explosive tempo of the modern political thriller.
