REVIEWS FOR COLD TEARS - By John

COLD TEARS sets up Foxjohn's David Mason mysteries as a force to
be reckoned with. , November 3, 2007
John Foxjohn spent his childhood in Nacogdoches, Texas. He quit
high school and joined the army at 17, where he was an Army Ranger
in Vietnam and Germany. After he left the Army he became a police
officer and worked homicide. He solved many cases and developed an
interest in forensics and fingerprinting. He went on to graduate
from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches in history
and moved on to teaching and coaching. He is now a full-time writer
and speaker who instructs writers in forensics, crime scene
investigations, and writing mystery and suspense. COLD TEARS is his
third novel and second David Mason mystery.
David Mason is a
Houston homicide detective who has a reputation for solving a high
percentage of his cases. He has also had to kill a few people in the
line of duty. While performing a neighborhood sweep, David comes
face to face to a grieving woman with a gun, who shoots him several
times. He returns fire and kills her, and her eyes haunt him. His
fiance, Beth Porter, panics after David is shot and breaks off their
engagement. In the meantime, a serial killer is zeroing in on David,
and taunts him with notes before he brutally abuses and kills his
victims. A senator's daughter is one of the victims, so David finds
he has to deal with Washington politics that threatens his
investigation. To add to the mix, a beautiful rookie F.B.I. agent is
assigned to work with David:
"She knew why they had to do it
this way, but she didn't have to like it. He'd surprised her.
Although she'd read his file, she hadn't expected as much
cooperation as she received from the detective. She'd heard horror
stories of agents who attempted to work with locals. She also knew
it wasn't all the local's fault. In her experience, field agents
tended to come across as arrogant, and most looked down on local law
enforcement."
COLD TEARS is a realistic, suspenseful, crime
scene investigation mystery written by a veteran police officer who
understands violence and how it rips lives apart. Foxjohn's
experience with politics also stands out in this book that can't be
put down once started. Foxjohn is also a sensitive writer who does a
wonderful job plotting his novels. David Mason is sort of a renegade
detective, but he is extremely likeable as the hard-working, blue
collar hero he is. COLD TEARS sets up Foxjohn's David Mason
mysteries as a force to be reckoned with. Excellent!

WORTH THE WAIT , August 30, 2007
By Jennie Etner (New York)
I have looked forward to reading Cold Tears since I read an
excpert several months ago on John Foxjohn's web site. I was
beginging to believe the day would never get here until I could get
this book. I knew it would be good, but I really didn't know it
would be THIS GOOD.
If you like action, a great mystery and
suspense, this is the book to read. It is a masterpeice.
I was very wrong , August 30, 2007
By Michael West (North Carolina)
Before Cold Tears, I had read two other books by John Foxjohn. I
didn't think he could write a book better than Journey of the
Spirit. He fooled me with Cold Tears. I honestly believe this is the
best book he has written.
I judge books by how hard they are
to put down. I stayed up all night reading Cold Tears. No matter how
tired I was, this book would not get out of my hands.
I
loved the way he intermingles the crime scene investigations,
forensics, and police procedures with his great gift of putting the
reader into the story. In Cold Tears, I wasn't reading the book, I
lived it though his characters. This book is a fast paced,
heart-wrenching, thriller and will take you on a ride of a lifetime.
HOLY COW! , August 30, 200
What a great, spine chilling book. I am a mystery reader and
usually only read the big names, but a friend suggested I read Cold
Tears. I am sure glad I did. Even the romance in the book is done
well and that is something a lot of mystery authors bungle. This is
the first book I have read by this author but it will not be the
last. I don't know where he came from, but this book is as good as
any I have read.
