What People are Saying About This

Sue Grafton

"Robert B. Parker has some competition on his hands....Elvis Cole is an appealing character and Crai's style is fresh and funny."

Lawrence Block

"Far and away the most satisfying private eye novel in years. Grab this one - it's a winner!"

Harlan Ellison

"Is Bob Crais good? Put it this way: if they're taking you out to put you against the firing squad wall, and you want to enjoy your last moments on earth, pass on the last cigarette and ask for an Elvis Cole novel."
