TANGLED LINES
Jeff Downing delivers a blockbuster crime novel as only a 30-year veteran federal prosecutor can.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Thax Colby investigates a sinister and tangled web of corruption and murder in the city’s narcotics unit, threatening to expose corruption at the very pinnacles of power in the city and beyond. With each unnerving discovery, the prosecutor is forced to walk perilously closer to the line as he confronts the obstacles that will make or break his case. But, just how far will Colby go to see that justice is done?

Downing is more than a modern day storyteller. He is a visual artist, whose words transport us to vivid scenes of parkways, streams, towns once on the edge of extinction, and musty old courtrooms. But beware, Tangled Lines is a gritty murder mystery with a dose of romance that is both enjoyable and thought-provoking—a sure best-seller for today's avid readers.

Jeff Downing brilliantly weaves a fly fishing backstory through this gripping murder mystery. The scenes on the Little Lehigh River, my treasured stream, made me feel like I was standing there in a perfect setting. An absolutely riveting tale. I couldn't put this book down.
