<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Pete Gonzalvez knew from the start that the dead woman he and his partner, Tolya Kurchenko, discovered in a Manhattan apartment did not commit suicide. Pete knew her better than that. Mariela Comacho was the love of his life. The road to the truth winds through the slums of the Dominican Republic, the cold streets of Soviet Moscow, the hot sands of the Judean Hills, and into the dark clubs of New York City's underworld. They learn that Mariela was not merely murdered but was the most recent victim of an international serial killer-a phantom from Tolya's past-and Karin Kurchenko, nine months pregnant, could be in his cold-blooded crosshairs.</p><p>Forgiving Mariela Comacho, the second book in the Forgiving series, is A. J. Sidransky at his best. A fast-paced thriller with witty, gritty dialogue and thoughtful perspective, its pages are rich with the engaging elements that continue to draw readers to Sidransky's unique prose.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A mystery and a thriller that stays unpredictable until the very end...fascinating...engaging."</p><p>Foreword Reviews </p><p><br></p><p>"Aside from all of its local color, insights regarding immigrant communities, police work...ethnic/religious identity, Forgiving Mariela Camacho is a riveting thriller with distinctive dialogue...sure-fire pacing... Sidransky's reputation is growing fast." -Phil Jason Reviews </p><p><br></p><p>"This book puts the lie to the conventional wisdom that great crime writing can't be great literature. Sidransky's prose strikes the ideal balance between descriptive and action-oriented...FORGIVING MARIELA CAMACHO swept me up into its world, and I was addicted to the story until the final page." -Debbi Mack, New York Times Bestselling Author </p><p><br></p><p>"This page-turner is more than a first-rate mystery. It explores family bonds and dysfunctional relationships, Jewish identity, and the intimate connection that develops between police partners. Mystery readers will greatly enjoy this novel, but it will also appeal to all readers looking for new and insightful explorations of Jewish identity, intermarriage, and parenting."</p><p><em>-Jewish Book Council</em></p><p><br></p><p>"Streetwise, savvy and smart, Forgiving Mariela Camacho is an engrossing and intelligent read that takes the reader on a global manhunt that brims with noise, energy and authenticity. It feels real. It is both remarkably sweeping and intimate, simultaneously. Sidransky deftly creates narratives, characters and dialogue that exude genuineness and are a testament to his prodigious powers of cultural observation and storytelling. Forgiving Mariela Camacho is a worthy follow up from an author who weaves tales that practically pulsate with grit, gravitas and intensity. Can't wait to read what he conjures up next..."</p><p><em>-Led Black, Uptown Collective</em></p><p><br></p><p>"I remember thinking as I closed the covers of the previous book in the series, "Forgiving Maximo Rothman" that Sidransky was going to have a tough time topping it...but he has managed to do just that!"</p><p><em>-Amos Lassen Reviews </em></p><br>
