House Arrest

House Arrest puts Mike Lawson’s beloved protagonist Joe DeMarco behind bars (for a crime he did not commit), forcing him to enlist his good friend Emma to take on the investigation this time around. Fans of the series will be delighted to see Emma, a strong female character who has appeared as a sidekick in previous books, take the lead in the 13th outing of the DeMarco series. 2016’s House Revenge was a Seattle Times bestseller and recent books in the series have reached #2 (House Reckoning) and #3 (House Rivals) on the Seattle Times list. The Seattle Times crime reviewer, Adam Woog, is a huge fan of Lawson’s, as is David J. Montgomery of the Strand Magazine. Lawson has garnered comparisons to Ross Thomas, the undisputed great of American political thriller writing. Lawson’s House Reckoning, House Blood, House Divided, House Secrets, The Inside Ring, and Viking Bay (of his Kay Hamilton series) were all finalists for the Barry Award for Best Thriller. House Blood and House Odds won the Friends of Mystery Award. House Rules was a #1 Kindle bestseller and was a featured title for Amazon's “Daily Deal” anniversary promotion in August 2013. House Secrets and House Rules were Indie Next picks. Lawson is a Goodreads author, with over 8,000 ratings and 900 reviews. We have the complete 13-book Joe DeMarco series in print.
