News and Reviews...

"The mystery plot itself is riveting; Hayes expertly guides readers from lead to lead, and they’ll find themselves fully immersed not only in the search, but also in the depiction of the protagonist’s mounting desperation. A captivating and emotionally intelligent crime drama.” 
— Kirkus Reviews

​
"In The Things that Last Forever, Peter W. J. Hayes delivers the goods in masterful fashion: a compelling plot populated with complex characters in an atmospheric setting, capped off by a gut-punch of a final twist you won’t see coming. Throughout it all, Hayes paints a vivid picture of Pittsburgh detective Vic Lenoski’s emotional struggles that will resonate with every reader. A terrific novel!"

​Alan Orloff, Thriller- and Derringer-Award winning author of I KNOW WHERE YOU SLEEP
