Críticas:

‘UNDER THE BEETLE’S CELLAR is an instant classic in mystery and suspense. The best chiller-thriller of the year.’
James Patterson

‘In UNDER THE BEETLE’S CELLAR, Mary Willis Walker gives us a kidnap story of rare intensity and mounting tension. No, I didn’t steal that from the blurb, the book actually is a superb suspense thriller’
Irish Times

Reseña del editor:

Completely compelling thriller featuring crime journalist Molly Cates (heroine of THE RED SCREAM and UNDER THE BEETLE’S CELLAR). Fanatic gun lobbyists and vigilantes plot to blow up the Texas Senate, but are overheard by a homeless bag lady – and Molly’s the only person who believes her

Superb storytelling and gripping suspense once again from the author who puts Patricia Cornwell in the shade.

In the heat of the Texan summer, there are few cool places for the homeless to hide. Cow Lady guards her home under the decking of the creekside restaurant with desperate ferocity, at least safe in the knowledge that no customers use the deck area at night. Until the men with the strange voices arrive one evening and talk of guns and gas.

Cow Lady can’t see why she should do anything about it. What’s anyone ever done for her? Who’d listen? Only the journalist covering the lives of her homeless companions. Molly Cates.

Molly’s also covering the passage of a bill through the State Senate which will legalise the carrying of hidden weapons. She’s against it, but the gun lobby is rich and resourceful. It’s bound to get through. The Senate doesn’t realize that some vigilantes believe that the bill will work against them; and that the right to bear arms is more important than any other, including the right to live.

Chilling, convincing, powerfully entertaining, this is suspense writing at its best.
