What critics are saying about this serial killer thriller:

"Kenneth Eade is one of our strongest thriller authors on the scene and the fact that he draws his stories from the contemporary philosophical landscape is very much to his credit." Grady Harp, Amazon Hall of Fame, Top 100 and Vine Voice

"A truly suspenseful read in which the truth is not always what it appears to be; fantastic to-read for any lover of legal thrillers IndTale Magazine

"Packed with delightful twists and turns, its real surprise lies in an unexpected conclusion that neatly sums up events without a predictable path being taken. This makes for a gem of a read for courtroom drama and mystery fans used to the clues adding up to one direction. Absolute Intolerance remains thought-provoking from start to finish, and is a winning story fueled by issues of religious and gay civil freedoms alike."Midwest Book Review

"Eade is hitting readers where they hurt--he does not allow prejudice, beliefs, corrupt activities, etc., to go unnoticed. He attacks them, hoping to teach. If not, to force us to face reality. It must be recognized as a superb novel." GA Bixler Reviews

Find out what readers already know about this serial killer thriller:

"I have now read several Marks novels,and have thoroughly enjoyed them. As British who spent many years as a senior detective in London, I never cease to be amazed by the aberrations in the U.S. legal system which in criminal cases seem to lean in favour of the prosecution. Eade's legal expertise and natural ability in putting pen to paper, his sense of compassion and hatred of discrimination shine through." John Jones

"Only good things to say about this author. This story depicts how Lady Justice is sometimes ignored. As an avid reader of crime thrillers I strongly recommend all of his books" Linda Comeaux

"Well written legal thriller. Good job in bringing up the issue of homophobia. Eade is a true professional at his craft. The Brent Marks series is almost consistently excellent." A. Mockus

"I thank Mr Eade for writing this thought provoking book." Jan

"I have no words to describe this novel, believe me when I say that this a captivating read, rich in dialogues and descriptions that you won't stop reading until you reach the very end. I wasn't expecting that ending and it makes me love the book even more." Xalin
