Reviews

"The detective is 'harking back to a kind of Sherlock Holmes but updated to the modern eraperforming in a series of suspenseful vignettes ' 'Some unique thoughts (were) taken for chapter plots.' 'Intriguing" stories.' 'The writing is concise, sparse, and frequently hard hitting, precisely what is required of most detective fiction." Joel R. Dennstedt for Readers' Favorite "This is an interesting, noir-ish concept Both main characters are 'brave men of action ' The author writes dialogue (sic) and action very well " Entrada Book Reviews
