Críticas:

"Haven't yet heard of Sam Wiebe? You will soon . . . Lots of personal demons and good backstories give this novel heft. Wiebe is definitely a writer on the rise."--The Globe and Mail

"Sharp and terrific . . . A harrowing, superbly puzzling, and richly cinematic tale."--Vancouver Sun

Praise for Invisible Dead
"A story as appealing as it is mysterious."--Toronto Star

"A fresh spin on the tough yet emotionally vulnerable private eye."
--Mystery People


"Sam Wiebe is a master of tone and atmosphere."
--Benoit Lelievre, Dead End Follies


"Sam Wiebe has done a great job of scaring the pants off the reader, developing Dave's character, and introducing two new female characters. Wiebe is a literate and witty writer and Cut You Down is a worthy second in a series that, one hopes, will be followed by many more Wakeland novels."
--Reviewing The Evidence


"Wakeland's humanity is the driving force in Cut You Down, making this one of the better private eye series around."
--Unlawful Acts


"Another deftly crafted gem by a master of the genre, Sam Wiebe's Cut You Down is a riveting read from cover to cover."--Wisconsin Bookwatch

"Excellent . . . A study in both riveting crime writing and stark social realism . . . Wiebe takes the raw material of Vancouver's societal breakdown and fashions it into a highly readable crime novel--not to mention a statement on the times."--Toronto Star

"Sam Wiebe is going to become a modern master of noir."
--Andrew F. Gulli, Strand Magazine

Sam Wiebe returns with PI Dave Wakeland's latest missing-persons case, a strange investigation that quickly becomes a fight for survival.
No one knows what happened to Tabitha Sorenson, a brilliant but troubled college student who vanished in the aftermath of a scandal involving millions of dollars in school funds. Hired to find the missing young woman by her professor (and admirer) Dana Essex, private investigator Dave Wakeland is tossed into a world of suburban gangsters, corrupt authorities, and a contract killer with an unhealthy fondness for blades--all of them ready to guard their secrets at any cost.

When the investigation takes a deadly turn, the young PI crosses borders--and lines--in his hunt for a sadistic killer, a journey of discovery that takes him from the back alleys of a rapidly modernizing Vancouver to the wilds of Washington State to a disorienting suburban sprawl, where nothing is as it seems.
