“This novel supplies the goods: hard-boiled ambience, cynicism, witty banter, and plenty of tough-guy action.” - Booklist Review“Taut, unrelenting thriller and never lets up on its own inherent suspense. It’s a pure Spillane and Collins cocktail, one that goes down smooth and then leaves your guts on fire.”-Pulp Fiction Reviews
