Self-Publishing Review
* Plane in the Lake *
Neil Turner’s latest Tony Valenti thriller, Plane in the Lake, pits the no-nonsense lawyer and his fiery partner against entrenched power in this classic Chicago crime story. Lawyers and liars go hand in hand in the pearly offices of the city’s underworld, as a well-to-do family’s desperate attempt to cover up the truth behind their daughter’s death spirals into something much more. As Valenti is faced with saving not only his firm but his family too, Turner skillfully wields an incisive pen that takes on the seemingly untouchable upper classes and shady crime families. With his trademark breezy style reminiscent of Dennis Lehane, Turner has produced another devourable thriller. Self-Publishing Review ★★★★½
Plane in the Lake is a satisfying blend of tense thriller and whodunit that calls into question and ultimately strengthens Tony Valenti’s bonds with friends, family, and peers. The novel works on many different levels to involve readers in a puzzle that remains murky up to its surprise conclusion. It’s a fine story that will keep readers (whether newcomers or prior fans of Tony's gritty streetwise style) thoroughly engrossed to the end. D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
* A Case of Betrayal *
In his third powerful Tony Valenti Thriller, A Case of Betrayal, author Neil Turner puts his charming and brilliant defense attorney back into the fray, where his loyalties to old friends will be tested against his passion for justice. Diving into tough subjects - from the deeply rooted racism in America to the struggles of single fatherhood - this installment stands out from other thrillers; there is real heart in this prose, as well as nuanced character development that keeps the read continually engaging. Packed with suspense, and a page turner from the start. Self-Publishing Review ★★★★½
* A Time for Reckoning *
"A character-driven thriller that fearlessly reveals the dark corners of human nature – misogyny, greed, violence, power, and control. Driven by strong dialogue, unpredictable twists, and more than a dash of colloquial country charm, this savagely honest novel is a stellar addition to the Toni Valenti Thriller series." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★½
* Scared Silent *
"A brutal and gritty novel of survival on the merciless streets of Chicago, Scared Silent is a gut-wrenching ride. Given the national spotlight being recently turned towards the desperate plight of the poor, this gripping story is not only expertly penned, but also timely and fearless." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★★
* The Secrets She Buried *
"A gripping tale that feels ripped from today’s darkest headlines, The Secrets She Buried is a page-turning thriller with a building number of twists and surprises. Driven by fast-paced dialogue, snap decisions, and a perpetual sense of urgency, this dark, fast-paced thriller is one of the strongest installments in the perennially entertaining Tony Valenti Thriller series, offering a timely look at contemporary issues within the novel's expertly crafted plotline." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★★
* Nowhere to Hide *
"With timely themes, compelling characters both familiar and fresh, and relatable storytelling about the dynamics within a family, Turner has delivered another thought-provoking gem of a thriller." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★
*A Law Unto Itself*
“Awesome! Just finished the eighth Tony Valenti, and can't wait for the next. Neil is a wonderful writer. He brings all of the characters to life and kept me on the edge of my seat with the court room drama. This is one series you don't want to miss!” ★★★★★
