About the Book
‘Pulp Fiction’ with a dash of ‘This Is Spinal Tap’
Pete Watts is a former undercover narcotics cop who got way too close to his job. He now runs a music rehearsal studio that draws the underbelly of the industry: violent drug gangs, a strange assortment of hangers-on and a gorgeous ex-mercenary who wears makeup in the form of multi-colored tears running down her face. These tears are, in fact, decals on which different poisons are concealed. Some survive the Trial of Tears, some don’t. The story’s taut climax is set in a posh townhouse in which only the courageous will emerge unscathed.
An action-packed love-letter to New York City, it’s a story of friendship and redemption, that provides a roller-coaster of laughter, drama and suspense, leaving the reader wanting more.

About The Author
Chris Semal was born in New York City and has lived there all his life. A musician, singer and songwriter, he’s seen the underside of the music business and played uncountable rock clubs in Manhattan since the late 70s. The author is currently at work on a sequel to his first book; Reign of Tears will pick up one year later in the surviving characters’ lives.
My Thoughts
The Trial of Tears is suspenseful, funny and scary all at the same time. The story takes the reader into the undercover world with bad guys and drugs galore, the music world and drugs galore...The characters are very believable, both the good guys and the bad guys. The women are beautiful and the men dangerous. As a reader I could definitely tell that Mr. Semal knows his stuff when it comes to the music business and with this book he will be sure to make his mark in the world of writing. I enjoyed it immensely...a fun read with a bit of everything to please the reader.
I received a copy of this book for review and was not monetarily compensated for my review.
