BY THE BLOOD OF The CRESCENT Moon

"This book was like......flypaper.   Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down.  I have never read a book that takes the lives and situations of the major characters and then weaves them together into a perfect tapestry of suspense and intrigue.   Highly recommend."

"By the Blood of the Crescent Moon is a gripping novel that is perfectly timed for the age we are now living in.  Detective John Landreith is brilliant and cunning, and the trap he lays for a hate-filled racist cloaked in white christian nationalism is pure gold.  This is the most emotionally satisfying book I have ever read."

"Jacob Lassiter's first novel is a genuine page turner.  It is a master class in how to keep a reader perched on the edge of their seat from start to finish."

"Lassiter's trademark is to keep the reader in suspense until an electrifying climax in the final chapter that no one ever sees coming."

"Lassiter takes the normally disenfranchised individuals in society and makes heroes of them all. The justice meted out is delicious and well worth the wait it takes to get to the truly spectacular ending."

The novel is a page turner, right up to the very end. It tugs at the reader, and is almost impossible to put down. [Lassiter] has taken on an epic-sized theme—racism and prejudice—and happily the bigots lose. As an aside, the author’s introductory quotes at the beginnings of the chapters are the best I’ve ever seen. They’re highly eclectic, from all time periods, and spot-on. I stand in awe of them—and of the whole book. [Lassiter] has written a unique and powerful masterpiece.

"A genuinely superb read."
