Description:

Prostitution has been legal in Rhode Island for more than a decade; Liam Mulligan, an old-school investigative reporter at dying Providence newspaper, suspects the governor has been taking payoffs to keep it that way. But this isn’t the only story making headlines…a child’s severed arm is discovered in a pile of garbage at a pig farm. Then the body of an internet pornographer is found sprawled on the rocks at the base of Newport’s famous Cliff Walk.

At first, the killings seem random, but as Mulligan keeps digging into the state’s thriving sex business, strange connections emerge. Promised free sex with hookers if he minds his own business—and a beating if he doesn’t—Mulligan enlists Thanks-Dad, the newspaper publisher’s son, and Attila the Nun, the state’s colorful Attorney General, in his quest for the truth. What Mulligan learns will lead him to question his beliefs about sexual morality, shake his tenuous religious faith, and leave him wondering who his real friends are.

Cliff Walk is at once a hard-boiled mystery and an exploration of sex and religion in the age of pornography. Written with the unique and powerful voice that won DeSilva an Edgar Award for Best First Novel, Cliff Walk lifts Mulligan into the pantheon of great suspense heroes and is a giant leap for the career of Bruce DeSilva.

Review

Liam Mulligan is the most human, unpredictable, and anti-authoritarian fictional character I've met since Ranger Gus McCrae of Lonesome Dove. I love DeSilva's Cliff Walk. Mulligan is my new American hero. -- Howard Frank Mosher, critically-acclaimed author of On Kingdom Mountain and Waiting for Teddy Williams

A "sterling follow-up to 2010's Rogue Island, which won Edgar and Macavity awards for best first novel. , , , Look for this one to garner more award nominations"- STARRED REVIEW in Publishers Weekly

"Wiseacre Mulligan is never less than compelling company, and the analogies between the newspaper business and the porn business are spot-on." -- Kirkus Reviews

"His plotting is exquisite." . . . "Terrific on every level." -- Booklist

From the Inside Flap

"DeSilva knows his crooks, his snobs, and his working joes, knows what they do and how they talk about it. He also knows the newspaper business in all its sunset glory, and he's intimately acquainted with the nets of power, crime, and money woven into the fabric of Rhode Island. This is a series I'll be following." --S.J. Rozan, award-winning author of Ghost Hero.
