The first review of Andrew's new novel "Empire of Lies" is out and it's a good one. Publishers Weekly, the publishing industry's premiere trade magazine, calls the book "a wickedly satiric thriller with political overtones" and says its "action builds to an explosive climax." The novel tells the story of Jason Harrow, once a dissolute and amoral New Yorker, now a conservative and religious family man living in the mid-west. When a phone call from a former lover calls Jason back to New York, he's drawn into a search for a missing woman who holds the key to a perilous mystery. Trying to uncover the truth when the American media, academy and entertainment business obscure it under a mountain of politically correct lies, Jason can't tell whether he's on the trail of a terrorist plot or is simply going mad - or both. "Empire of Lies" is scheduled for publication in mid-July from Harcourt/Penzler Press.
