Critical Acclaim for WAKING UP THE DEVIL: “Chris Miller is one of the best kept secrets in crime fiction. But he won’t be a secret anymore once readers get ahold of this masterful new offering.” —Andy Rausch, author of Hell To Pay “A knuckleduster of a racing-against-the-clock thriller, with loads of balls to the wall action. Miller's Cade Samson makes most tough-guy protagonists look as menacing as Dylan Mulvaney slurping on a Bud Light. To quote from the book: ‘Forget rock and roll; it's time for heavy metal.’” —Michael Bruce Blackwell, author of Wildlife on the Serengeti
