"The Innocents is a terrific read reminiscent of the best of Joseph Wambaugh.  David Putnam provides an insider's knowledge of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. His characters and settings are rich and authentic, and his dialogue is spot on accurate. A great novel for lovers of the mystery genre that blurs the line between good and evil and will keep you guessing until the final pages." 

—Robert Dugoni, New York Times best-selling author

"Putnam has again come up with a winning combination, a page-turning story and Bruno Johnson, his everyman hero intent on doing the right thing no matter what. Bruno is the guy you want on your side when the chips are down. Do yourself a favor: read this book." 

—Harry Hunsicker, Shamus and Thriller Award nominee

"The Innocents tells a story so fast and so taut it never touches the ground, and the people stay with you long after you put it down. David Putnam is one of the few writers who can bear comparison to Joseph Wambaugh." 

—Timothy Hallinan, Edgar, Shamus, Macavity, and Lefty Award nominee
