Reviews
“One of the very best writers now working the beat…Block has done something new and remarkable with the private-eye novel.”
“There’s an emotional depth here which you don’t find in many thrillers. No one tells it quite like Block.”
“Graver than Elmore Leonard but with the same effortless style, the author is there with the very best…the real McCory with a shocking twist—stylish too.”
