Praise for Intimate Falls…

“. . . impossible to put down . . . a page-turning mystery that is filled with suspense and intrigue.”
Dr. W. D. Brymer, North Shore Reviewer
“. . . a fascinating journey through a suitably convoluted plot . . .”
Marlene Hunter, MD author of Psyche Yourself In
“. . . much more than a fast-paced, page-turning entertainment . . . I learned about the inner-workings of rock climbing, the medical world, aikido, and the Internet. Can’t wait to read the next one!”
Michael Modzelewski author of Inside Passage and Angeles Crest
“. . . so exciting that I just couldn’t put it down.”
W.L. Priddy, Baltimore Reviewer

“No Secrets is Rucker at his phenomenal best. Excitement from beginning to end. Mystery and suspense with a romantic flare. No wonder the critics are raving about these mysteries. One after another, the fun just keeps coming.”

“. . . the real Japan, as seen through North American eyes . . . just like the man says!”

“. . . exotica, erotica, mystery, suspense, and fun — a great mix for an even greater read . . .”

“Rucker’s writing is erudite and elegant . . .”
Marlene Hunter, MD, author of Psyche Yourself In
“Fans of tight suspense will appreciate Rucker’s many plot twists and turns and will look forward to reading more about the resourceful information agent, Drake.”
Lee Starr Director, Kootenai-Shoshone Library District, Coeur d’Alene
“Brandon Drake may one day be to modern suspense literature what TV detective Thomas Magnum was to prime-time viewers of the 1980s — a well-intentioned supersleuth with a soft spot for the dames.”
John Knox, Burnaby Now
“. . . a seasoned writer. . . dedicated to his craftsmanship, writing with commitment, without succumbing to commercial formula plots.”
Wendy Welch, Vancouver Book Club Reviewer
“Lance Rucker is among the world’s fast-rising stars of the mystery and suspense genres of fiction writing. He is best known for his Brandon Drake novels about a quirky, quixotic, and ever-so-slightly romantic information agent.”
James Renfrew Entertainment Notes
“With a minor in criminology from Berkeley and having been raised in a policeman’s family, it’s little wonder Rucker writes such great mystery novels.”
Berkeley Notes
“. . . and imagine his surprise when Rucker discovered at the age of 14 that his pharmacist grandfather was also working as an undercover agent in drug enforcement!”
