Editorial Reviews

“Vesuvius Nights has everything I want in a mystery. A compelling plot, vivid writing, and an Italian setting with vivid details. Erickson’s writing style really holds my attention and fully engages me. The pace of the writing mirrors the speed of modern life with the action transpiring over one week. The characters exhibit depth and humanity and become very real. Highly recommended.”

“This third book in Jack Erickson’s thriller series moves to Naples with the back story of the leading female detective, exploring the workings of the Camorra, organized crime. Jack’s descriptions of Naples and the views of Vesuvius make you feel a part of the vibrant city, and the action will have you transfixed. Can’t wait for the next one!”
