A demented soul is stalking Naomi, hiding in the shadows of the night, waiting for the right moment to snatch her and fulfill a twisted fantasy. When Naomi's radio station hires PI Rick Cahill to protect Naomi and track down the stalker, he discovers that Naomi is hiding secrets about her past that could help unmask the man.

Reviews
"With Wrong Light Matt Coyle is on top of his game and Rick Cahill ascends to the top ranks of the classic private eyes."
--Michael Connelly, New York Times best-selling author
"An equation involving everyone from the Russian mob to Irish Travelers to ex-cops, Coyle's Wrong Light is a fascinating, fast-paced, spidery-webbed novel."
--Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times best-selling author
"Part pacy thriller and part fair-play puzzle, Wrong Light delivers, even if you read it as a page-turner alone. But delve a little deeper and there's so much more. Coyle honors the gum-shoe tradition but confounds expectations; he both celebrates and laments masculinity; and he writes with respect of the price his hero pays for the life he lives."
--Catriona McPherson, multi-award-winning author
"Distinctive characters and a powerful narrative"
--Publishers Weekly
"Rick Cahill ... has a conscience, similar to Robert Parker's Spenser and is not averse to breaking rules to uncover the truth."
--Library Journal
Praise for the Rick Cahill series:
"Matt Coyle's protagonist, Rick Cahill, is haunted both by the sins of his father and by his own mistakes--but he's driven to find the truth, no matter where it takes him, and that's what makes this story so compelling. Coyle is the real deal, and [Blood Truth] is the best PI novel I've read in years, period."
--Steve Hamilton, New York Times best-selling author
"Dark Fissures is a roller coaster ride through the streets of San Diego. Tightly plotted with memorable characters. An outstanding read!"
--C. J. Box, New York Times best-selling author
"Following an Anthony Award-winning debut isn't easy, but Matt Coyle slammed a homer. Hard, tough, humane--Night Tremors is outstanding!"
--Robert Crais, Anthony, Macavity, and Shamus Award-winning author
"Cahill is a fantastic addition to the PI literary canon. He's a sympathetic character with deep flaws but an unnerving drive to find truth at any cost ... Expertly written and featuring a snarky and self-deprecating hero, Blood Truth builds up compelling mysteries and thunders toward a satisfying, if surprising, ending."
--Foreword Reviews (Starred Review)
"Readers will root for Rick Cahill, hardboiled PI and one-man wrecking ball, as he searches for the truth about his police officer father in Blood Truth, the latest installment in Matt Coyle's winning series."
--Hallie Ephron, New York Times best-selling author
"Blood Truth is tough, savvy, and emotionally nuanced. With an intriguing plot, engaging characters, and rich sense of place, Matt Coyle honors the PI tradition while also making it his own."
--Lou Berney, Edgar Award-winning author
"Matt Coyle's Dark Fissures is a meticulously plotted detective novel with such fast and continuous action that neither the cars nor the gun barrels ever cool down. Go buy it."
--Thomas Perry, Edgar Award-winning author
"Matt Coyle has expanded his substantial talents in Night Tremors, his second mystery. Tight, smart, and surprising, Night Tremors breathes fresh life into the PI tradition and entertains us all the way."
--T. Jefferson Parker, three-time Edgar Award-winning author
