Reader reviews…
“This is a non-stop Coney Island switchback ride of a novel. There’s also a nicely atmospheric sub-theme about the early days of television. Highly recommended!”
“A sharp, witty noir that feels straight out of a smoky jazz club. Packed with colorful characters, snappy, dialogue, and twisty action, it nailed the greedy detective vibe without dragging. Fans of classic crime fiction and modern thrillers alike will enjoy the stylish and fast paced ride.”
“Its an easy read, but far from simple... so vividly written you can almost hear the jazz in the background and see the neon lights reflecting off the wet streets. Perfect for fans of classic detective novels with plenty of grit and action.”
