I read this novel in two days, it was awesome. I couldn't put it down. I was messmerized by the plot and scheme in the book. I recommend this book to all of the EJD fans.


Thieve's Paradise

Really enjoyed this book - full of little surprises. I gave to my 31 year old nephew to read and he's almost finished - likes it too. We're both interested in more books from Eric Jerome Dickey.

Definitely not the typical Jerome Dickey Novel

This was definitely a new genre for E. Jerome Dickey. I have always loved his novels because he is able to write from the woman's perspective so eloquently. He pays extra details to the surroundings in the book and to the characters. I also love the way he manages to mention characters from previous books in each novel. It makes his characters seem real. The problem here was the crime element. I could not get used to him writing about this. Maybe I was disappointed in that, unitl I did not allow my self to enjoy the book?

He does it again

Thieves' Paradise goes along with every day life and you can relate to it. With all the identity theft and other illegal activities you can see a brother or sister who has lost there jobs or working a job that barely pays the bills turning to a life of crime.


Another Dickey HIT!

In reading this book I could tell that it was one of his earlier works, but not in a bad way. This book delivers just like all the others! Visit his web-site... [...]

Twenty-five-year-old Dante Brown is down and out in L.A. After doing a stretch of hard time in juvenile jail, he cleaned up his act as a computer techie-only to be laid off when the economy went south. Now he's facing a mountain of unpaid bills, a car on its last legs, imminent eviction, and a snowball's chance in hell with Pam, a sexy waitress/actress on the hunt for a man with means.

Enter Scamz, a slick brother from Dante's checkered past whose successful, illegal business associations keep him in custom-tailored suits, a Benz CL600, and a lavish Hollywood mansion with his pick of gorgeous women. Dante is determined to stay straight...after one last con that could put him back on top. But he gets pulled in deeper when his old friend Jackson, who's $16,000 behind in child support, becomes part of the sting. The icing on the cake is Pam who, seduced by the easy money, suddenly finds Dante irresistible...until everything goes wrong.

A provocative and seductive story of contemporary men and women on the move and on the make, living large-and small-in L.A., Thieves' Paradise is this phenomenally gifted author "at the top of his game" (Chicago Defender).
