"Silver Lies is a tale of greed, lust and deception set in
Leadville in its heyday, when men - and not a few women - stopped
at nothing, not even murder, to strike it rich. Ann Parker gets is
just right, and the result is a terrific debut novel."
*Margaret Coel, award-winning author of The Shadow
Dancer*
"Parker...sum[s] up in a few sharp sentences the tawdry power of a
frontier boomtown like Leadville, where a sudden surge in silver
could burnish everyone's dreams. ...her first novel... combines a
kind of gritty grandeur with a knowing wisdom about the way the
present shapes our perceptions of the past."
*The Chicago Tribune*
"Drawing on historic facts and figures of 1870s Colorado, Parker
tells a gripping tale of love, greed and murder in the Old West,
with a cast of convincing, larger-than-life characters, including a
brief appearance from Bat Masterson himself. Inez is a woman well
ahead of her time and a welcome addition to the genre, as is
Parker, who has left enough loose ends to beckon readers to the
next Leadville mystery." (starred review)
