CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR DAVE ZELTSERMAN
"as nasty and clever as noir can get...a dark gem of a story...a macabre delight to read" NPR's Fresh Air
"Zeltserman is the author of increasingly accomplished crime novels, distinguished by spare and crisp prose, believable dialogue, imaginative plot twists and tightly wound characters who don''t wear out their welcome." Newsday
"deserves comparison with the best of James Ellroy." Publishers Weekly, starred review
"There's a new name to add to the pantheon of the sons and daughters of Cain: Dave Zeltserman. His new novel, Small Crimes, is ingeniously twisted and imbued with a glossy coating of black humor... The plot of Small Crimes ricochets out from [its] claustrophobic opening, and it's a thing of sordid beauty." Maureen Corrigan for NPR's Best Books of 2008
"Harrowing. Zeltserman colors it black with the best of them." Kirkus Reviews
"A strong piece of work, lean and spare, but muscular where a noir novel should be." The Boston Globe
"If there's any other young writer out there who does crime noir better than Zeltserman, I don't even want to know...I'd say Zeltserman can't top Pariah for its sheer diabolical inventiveness, but he probably will." The Washington Post
"Small Crimes proves a deft entry in the tradition that goes back to Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me, James M. Cain's The Postman Always Rings Twice and Charles Willeford's High Priest of California -- small masterpieces celebrating the psychopath as a grinning archetype, as American as apple pie." Sun-Sentinel
"Pariah is sure to catapult Zeltserman head and shoulders above other Boston authors. This is not only a great crime book, but a gripping read that will crossover to allow greater exposure for this rising talent." BOOKGASM
"This novel [Killer] is everything hard-boiled fiction should be - compact, direct and disciplined, and concerned with humans rather than stereotypes. It is also, for all its violent subject matter, a quietly told story, which makes its tension all the more intense" Mat Coward, Morning Star
"A dark, lightening-paced read" Financial Times
"A small gem of crime fiction" Booklist
"DAVE Zeltserman is one of the new, highly original voices in crime fiction, his writing spare, disciplined and concrete. His plots are as original as anyone writing hard-boiled fiction with an attractive noir edge, and always grimly entertaining." The Australian
"I've been crazy about Dave Zeltserman's books since the beginning; Fast Lane was an early Hardboiled Pick. His trilogy of Small Crimes, Pariah, and Killer should be indispensable to the reading list of any follower of modern noir fiction. This latest book [Outsource] simply kicks ass and is one of the most fun and twisted reads I've had in ages." Patrick Millikin, Poisoned Pen Bookstore
