Victor LaneVictor Lane crafts noir tales that blur the line between the haunted and the hunted. Known for his evocative prose and emotionally complex characters, Lane dives deep into the psychological undercurrents of crime, corruption, and redemption.His debutnovel, Dead Quiet, introduced readers to Eddie Vance, a deaf private investigator navigating the shadowy back alleys of 1950s Chicago-a city where silence can kill, and the truth hides behind every whispered lie. With The Widow's Hotel, Lane brings a new protagonist into focus: Jack Teller, a war-worn drifter pulled into a web of murder and mystery in the sun-bleached Nevada desert.Lane's work explores the cost of secrets and the moral ambiguity of justice. His upcoming novel, Ashes in the Rain, promises a return to gritty, conspiracy-laced storytelling, following insurance investigator Harland Avery as he confronts arson, occult symbolism, and institutional rot in a city on the brink of collapse.Whether he's chronicling jazz-soaked murders or uncovering ancient cults hidden in urban decay, Victor Lane delivers atmospheric, unflinching crime fiction with heart, grit, and an unmistakable voice.
