Heavens May Fall is a taut, engrossing mystery that had me flying
through the pages." --LAURA McHUGH, award-winning author of The
Weight of Blood "The Heavens May Fall certainly adds to Allen
Eskens' growing reputation as one of the most talented writers in
mystery fiction today." --DEADLY PLEASURES PRAISE FOR THE WORK OF

the blood, is well suited to this fiercely told morality tale (and
its deeply cynical ending), which is sure to send all of us
wretched sinners straight to hell." --NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
"Readers looking for a new voice should pay attention to
Eskens."
--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY STARRED REVIEW "Eskens has conjured up a
marvelously black spirit of a novel. It's a taut, intelligent,
heart-ripping story that explores the darkest places in the human
psyche. After each unexpected twist, you'll tell yourself things
can't get any worse. And then they do." --WILLIAM KENT KRUEGER, New
York Times-bestselling author of the Edgar(R) Award-winning

of his Edgar(R)-nominated debut with this chilling, dark, and
sinister thriller. With precision and authority, Eskens's
determined cop hero takes one intriguing clue--and pursues it into
spiraling disaster. With a deadly surprise around every corner and
a bleak undercurrent of noir-like dread, this book will haunt you."
--HANK PHILLIPPI RYAN, Agatha, Anthony, and Mary Higgins Clark
