Critical Acclaim for Deep Orange Cover:
"Tightly spun, dark, bloody and realistic. Just what I'd want in a great read." -John R. Clark, author of Dark Maine
"Barrows delivers, again, with his sixth book in the Deep Cover series. Barrows plunges the reader into the dark, dangerous world of outlaw motorcycle gangs with authenticity and action. As Special Agent David Ward infiltrates The Allegiance, we witness both the adrenaline of undercover work and its personal costs. With pulse-pounding tension, moral complexity, and characters that leap off the page, this novel showcases Barrows' talent as a writer and his first-hand knowledge of the legal system as a former federal prosecutor." -JD Trafford, bestselling author of Little Boy Lost and the Dark River series
"Even the ATF admits the assignment is 'above and beyond' what any agent should be asked-to infiltrate The Allegiance, a white supremacist biker gang. But undercover legend David Ward is all-in. Barrows keeps the tension piano wire taut, with prose that runs as smooth as the Harley Davidson Road King that Ward rides!" -Jonathan J. Brown, 2024 Shamus Award Finalist for Drugs, Guns N Money, a Lou Crasher Thriller
"Deep Orange Cover reads like a Harley motoring at full throttle. If you like your beer cold and your prose over the speed limit, Joel Barrows is your kinda guy." -Tim O'Mara, author of the Raymond Donne series and the Aggie Trilogy
"Crime fiction at its rawest-a violent power struggle where hate, loyalty, and vengeance collide. Fast, ruthless, and unforgettable, Barrows delivers hard-hitting action and characters so real, you'll swear you've met them-or tried to run from them." -A.C. Frieden, author of the Jonathan Brooks thriller series
"Undercover cop stories have become common, but Joel Barrow's dark thriller, Deep Orange Cover, stands above the crowd for one big reason. This tale of an ATF agent embedded in a motorcycle gang drips with authenticity! Not only do the law enforcement people and biker gang members feel real, but the procedures and situations are all so authentic this could be 'ripped from the headlines.' Only the nail-biting suspense reminds you that it's fiction. After this one you'll need a minute to catch your breath." -Austin S. Camacho, author of the Hannibal Jones mystery series
