Peter Bloch, "PENTHOUSE" "[An] an old-fashioned mystery story - with a typical burned-out private investigator as its hero - that quickly becomes a very atypical witches brew of sex, religion, hypocrisy, and evil in which the war on terror is cynically manipulated to subvert America's basic values. If, at first, this engrossing thriller seems to be a bit over the top, a quick check of the day's news will make you think again. Ambassador Joseph Wilson "In Orwellian times, fiction is often the only way to get the truth out. We are approaching such times in the United States, and Larry Beinhart masterfully alerts us to what depths our government has sunk. "Salvation Boulevard" is a quick paced and heart wrenching call to arms against the excesses our government has foisted upon "we the people." Robert K. Tanenbaum ""Salvation Boulevard "is dramatic and highly provocative. Larry Beinhart expertly crafts a tempestuous philosophical personal drama that will unquestionably motivate intense discussion, debate and critical thinking. Read "Salvation Boulevard" and you will be consumed in a thought provoking whirlwind. It's quite a significant read." Donald Westlake "Larry Beinhart's "Salvation Boulevard," like his "Wag The Dog "and "The Librarian," is a wild ride indeed. Intelligent, provocative, often outrageous, it pits a tough ex-cop turned born-again PI against what only looks like innocence, covering a dark world of power and treachery and\ deceit. It will grip you, first page to last." Clarence Page, Pulitzer Prize winning "Chicago Tribune" columnist "Larry Beinhart's "Salvation Boulevard" pulls off one of the toughest tricks in modern literature: a sharp, high-energy whodunit that will disturb you with how closely it is based on real life." Vincent Bugliosi "A gripping, page-turning tale that takes one through bad lawyers and good ones, treachery and faith, pornography and preaching, torture and Homeland Security. "Salvation Boulevard "is a great and memorable read."
