A. R. Ashworth earned a degree in history before working for twenty years in high tech. Along the way, he developed a lasting love for Paris and London, which inspired his writing. He lives in the Texas Hill Country with his wife, a cheese-seeking Chihuahua, and an oversized tabby cat. This is his first Elaine Hope mystery.
Praise for Souls of Men:
"[A] strong debut...This is a procedural with heart, yet it doesn’t
shy away from the dark."
—Publishers Weekly
"[A] solid British procedural debut...A strong choice for fans of
Deborah Crombie."
—Library Journal
"In this smart, dark debut, A.R. Ashworth dishes up a gritty,
satisfying plate of murder, greed, and psychopathology. The good
guys are flawed in wonderfully human ways. And the bad guys? Evil
to the bone. Souls of Men is a whirlpool of tension that circles
inevitably toward both truth and tragedy, with an ending that will
leave readers craving for the next offering in the series."
—William Kent Krueger, New York Times bestselling and
Edgar-Award-winning author of the Cork O’Connor series
"Evil—murderous evil—is afoot in London. Luckily, so is Hope:
Detective Inspector Elaine Hope of the Metropolitan Police. Smart,
strong, and determined, she doesn’t give up, won’t back down, and
mustn’t be underestimated. We could all use a bit more Hope in our
lives."
—Jon Jefferson, New York Times bestselling author of Jefferson
Bass’s Body Farm mystery series
“In Souls of Men, A.R. Ashworth introduces a worthy protagonist in
Detective Elaine Hope. Elaine is an engaging blend of strength and
compassion, a competent investigator thrown into a case that could
push her to the breaking point. Her pursuit of the killer leads,
indirectly, to what might be her last, best chance at love—then
threatens to destroy it. Ashworth’s sensitivity weaves Elaine’s
humanity into a satisfying thriller.”
-Jaden Terrell, Shamus Award nominee and author of the
internationally published Jared McKean mysteries
