"A FIRST-RATE SUSPENSE THRILLER." - FOREWORD CLARION REVIEW (5 STARS)

"COMPELLING." - KIRKUS REVIEWS

In the decade since their younger sister's death, James and Ian Lawrence have drifted apart - James to pursue a steady but humdrum career as a CPA in Kansas City, Ian to go adventuring off to Leipzig, Germany, for his doctorate in economics. But when Ian mysteriously disappears while researching the economics of organized crime, James must take a leave of absence to look for him. Risking everything, he embarks on a perilous journey across Europe, digging deeply into the business affairs of some very private, very dangerous people. But in the search for Ian, he discovers a brewing revolution that will shock the world - and change what he sees as his own place in it.

Praise for The Price of Innocence

"A first-rate suspense thriller... delivers gripping action, well-rounded characters, and a tantalizing plot... The Price of Innocence is a complete package of entertainment... Devore skillfully immerses his readers in German and Czech cultures, adding rich international flavors... As if an exciting, precise plot weren't enough, the author also fills his story with subtle but powerful themes, including respect for women, eternal optimism in the face of defeat, and the strength of brotherly love... Fans of John Grisham's legal thrillers or Robert Ludlum's intricate action scenes are going to be pleased with Devore's contribution... Readers of all ages will enjoy this intelligent novel." -ForeWord Clarion Review (5 Stars)

"The narrative boasts a distinctly cinematic impression... every scene is made memorable by chilling descriptions and dialogue... An enticing plotline, lifelike characters, high octane prose and penetrating visualizations combine to create a compelling, hair-raising story that may not be as far from reality as readers may think." -Kirkus Reviews

"A fun thriller... By the time the book climaxes (in its final chapters), the action is relentless, with a satisfying denouement." -BlueInk Review

"After about 20 pages, The Price of Innocence takes an irresistible hold. Devore has a big imagination and the writing skills to match... The story is immediate, personal, and riveting--a page turner, in the very best way... will keep you captivated until the very last paragraph." -Pacific Book Review
