Double Wide (2017)
(Whip Stark, book 1)
Leo W Banks
"The book is so good that it’s hard to believe it’s a debut novel. Banks crafted his fast-moving plot expertly. The yarn is exceptionally well-written, Banks’s descriptions of the Arizona desert so vivid that you’ll rush to turn up the air conditioner, his portrayals of his colorful characters so memorable that you’ll find yourself wondering what else those who survivedthe tale are up to once you finish the last page."
Koreatown Blues (2016)
Mark Rogers
"Koreatown Blues is a cleverly-plotted hard-boiled novel with crisp, muscular prose, a feverish pace, a vividly-drawn urban setting, and characters so real that Rudy Giuliani would stop and frisk them."
Blessed Are the Dead (2014)
(Gabriella Giovanni Mystery, book 1)
Kristi Belcamino
"... a crime novel so skillfully executed that it's hard to believe it'sher debut ... truly first-rate."
