WHAT BURNS WITHIN?
"Well worth adding to any mystery collection."
-- Library Journal
"Ruttan manages to keep multiple leads and seconds on the same page admirably... the straight proceduralism from Ruttan serves the story well through the rewarding climax."
--Publishers Weekly
"A sizzling story by one of crime fiction's hot new voices."
-- Rick Mofina, internationally best-selling author of A PERFECT GRAVE
"This story features a triple mystery and three main characters, who are interesting not only for their tangled group dynamic but also as individuals. The subject matter obviously is very grim, but the occasional banter between the constables helps to take the edge off. This is a good start to a new series I think will appeal to a variety of mystery lovers."
--Fresh Fiction
"Sandra Ruttan writes with utter ferocity. Twists and turns that stun and dialog that absolutely crackles with wit and authenticity. With each page, Ruttan delivers the goods. WHAT BURNS WITHIN is a nonstop chiller of a mystery that keeps you turning the pages."
-- GREGG OLSEN, New York Times Bestselling Author of A WICKED SNOW
"Promising talent Ruttan sets her gritty new detective series in Vancouver. It has a hard-edged feel and intriguing characters. ...this is a good start to an intriguing series."
--Romantic Times Book Reviews
"Short and snappy chapters, terse dialogue, staccato delivery of minimalist descriptions -- Ruttan's style harks back to the classic hardboiled era....Ruttan is very much a shower rather than a teller: there are very few internal monologues to be heard in WHAT BURNS WITHIN, the subtleties of the characters' complex psychologies being drawn out through their interactions with their colleagues. That's a difficult skill to make invisible, but it's one of Ruttan's most effective weapons."
--Declan Burke, Crime Always Pays
"Ruttan effortlessly brings to life a varied cast of complex characters. She writes with tremendous passion, honesty and skill. This is a story you will care about."
-- Allan Guthrie, Edgar Nominated Author of KISS HER GOODBYE
“Ruttan combines devilishly clever plots with genuinely empathic characters..."
--Russel D. McLean, Crime Scene Scotland
"A totally mesmerizing narrative and a plot that burns off the page."
-- Ken Bruen, Shamus Award-Winning Author of THE GUARDS
“WHAT BURNS WITHIN reads like a favorite television series. A large cast, lots of dialogue to advance the plot, a great setting, and well-drawn characters make for a compelling police procedural.”
-- Anne Frasier, USA Today Bestselling Author of HUSH, SLEEP TIGHT & PLAY DEAD
Available on Amazon.

I don't know what you're complaining about, mine was Suede Tease. I have a feeling I'll be a very poor pimp. norby
Hey, pimpin' is a rough gig.
:o)
Mine is:
Master Pimp Pumper. I'm not sure how I feel about that...
Nurse Dobb.
Fine, now I've only to figure out what a pimp is. :)
Sandra, I learn so much from you. I didn't know I even HAD a pimp name floating out there in the cosmos, and now I have this whole new identity as Sugarlips Dazzle, which SO suits me.
I'd do this, but I already have my pimp name...
Asian Fun of course!
Lol, the moment I wonder about the word 'pimp' (which my dictionary obviously considers unworthy of including) I find it all over the blogsphere - I think I've figured out the meaning by now. :)
Norby - hmmm, I'm not complaining!
Angie, yes it is! We need a union!
James, no comment.
Julia - what a fantastic name! Love it!
Mai Wen, LOL!
Okay, Gabriele, I'm glad you now understand... Sorry about the English to German translation glitches there.
Babel Fish tells me "Kuppler" - is that right?
Andrea, that's a good name too!
Sandra, yep, and that's the problem - I could not at first connect a word from the brothel sphere with books. :-)
Oh, yeah, the idea of pimping books might not translate appropriately...
I'm Maestro Dogg, yo.
My sister-in-law just had a tooth out and she came to me this evening for some of the vicodin I had leftover from my root canal. I told her she's my crackwhore now. She laughed. Clearly, she had no idea what I was talking about. But she will. I'm turning her out tomorrow.
It's hard out here for a pimp, dog. You ever try runnin' ho's in a town of 4000?
It's freaky how accurate these things are:
Pimp Mama Big Spenda.
Very funny Patrick!
Dana, yeah, totally appropriate!
I have to say, I love the high-low aspect of this blog.
Ho ho ho, as it were.
LOL Lisa! My husband always says I'm classy. Sometimes he means I am, and sometimes the word is filled with sarcasm.
james: Master Pimp Pumper
folks, we have a winner.
