Ed Kovacs

ED KOVACS is the author of six novels, including the critically-acclaimed Detective Cliff St. James series set in New Orleans, post-killer hurricane.

LOCKED DOWN, Nicole Grant #1, is now available as an e-book at most of the online retailers.

"When a former NSA analyst is targeted for assassination by rogue elements of the Chinese and U.S. governments, she’s forced to team with a renegade CIA spy and fight back using technology to extract the ultimate form of justice. The tension and suspense locks in on the first page and doesn’t let up until the last."

THE RUSSIAN BRIDE from St. Martin's Press:

“Quick, entertaining action.” Kirkus Reviews

“Brisk, easy-to-read thriller... Readers who like their heroes fearsome and focused... will want to see more of (the hero) Kit Bennings.”

"This is a thriller packed so full of action, it leaves readers breathless. Kovacs does an incredible job at being technically accurate and easy to understand, so readers of all levels are engaged throughout. A must-read for fans of fast-paced stories that don’t let you go till the very end." RT Book Reviews

BURNT BLACK, Cliff St. James #3.

"The vibrant description of occult doings mixes well with the movements of the earthbound characters, making this Cliff and Honey’s best outing to date." -- Kirkus

"What lingers after the demons are downed is St. James’ obliquely funny personality. A fine, offbeat procedural." -- Booklist

"This series has a definite southern noir feel, and its rough around the edges locale will be catnip to some readers, like myself." -- Criminal Element

GOOD JUNK, Cliff St. James #2.

"The scenes of New Orleans are rich and real." --The New York Times Book Review

Publisher's Weekly gave Good Junk the rare honor of a *starred,* boxed review.

"Powerful prose elevates this well above most other contemporary P.I. novels." --Publisher's Weekly

"With so many twists and turns, even the most devoted noir fans may wish they had a map. But it’s well worth trying to find the way." --Kirkus

"Kovacs maintains a fast pace, and his descriptions of a steamy, seamy, badly managed city that is failing to recover from Katrina are jolting and plausible. Good Junk has plenty of action—and high-tech gadgetry, too--" --Booklist

STORM DAMAGE

"Powerful as a Category Five hurricane, Storm Damage is a riveting journey into murder, politics, and greed. Kovacs writes like a master." -- Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author

UNSEEN FORCES

"A spellbinding thriller that will keep you riveted well past midnight." St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"A real page-turner rivaling The Da Vinci Code." --Phenomena Magazine
