Duane Lindsay’s standalone novels bookend his career. With a Vengeance (2004) was an early work, while Lone Rock (2017) appeared alongside his active series output.
With a Vengeance was published over a decade before Lindsay’s series work, and it has the hallmarks of an author still finding his voice. Lone Rock came thirteen years later and shows the benefit of that additional experience. Both books are self-contained mysteries that do not require any familiarity with Lindsay’s other writing.
Readers who discover Lindsay through his series can revisit these standalones for a different angle on his crime fiction. The long gap between the two books reflects a career that had quiet stretches before picking up pace in the late 2010s.
