James Ellroy recommends
 Muscle For The Wing (1988) (Rene Shade, book 2) Daniel Woodrell "Daniel Woodrell is stone brilliant ... a bayou Dutch Leonard steeped in rich Louisiana language." |  Telling Lies (1992) (Maggie MacGowen, book 1) Wendy Hornsby "Deft and moving... Telling Lies is sad, funny, genuinely big-hearted, and rendered with righteous snap." |  Box Nine (1992) (Quinsigamond, book 1) Jack O'Connell "Hyper-real noir. A grotesque romance about genocide, language, bibliomania, doubt, obsession, worms, epidermis and sanctuary!" |
 Dead Folks' Blues (1993) (Harry James Denton, book 1) Steven Womack "A deft, atmosphere-rich novel - smart, funny, and filled with a sense of wry heartbreak. Steven Womack's Nashville stands out - it is a beautifully drawn backdrop." |  The River Sorrow (1994) Craig Holden "Brilliant... this is a book that oozes power." |  Dog Eat Dog (1995) Edward Bunker "Edward Bunker is a true original of American letters. His ...books are criminal classics: novels about criminals, written by an ex-criminal, from the unregenerately criminal viewpoint." |

In prison parlace: a bonaroo first novel!" |  Dirty Sally (2004) (Dan Reles, book 1) Michael Simon "Tough, dark and gritty." |  Nightscape (2004) David Morrell "Grabs you by the short hairs of your soul and your brain and does not let go." |

This is brilliant iconography, righteous Americans, and brutally powerful prose." |  Black Water Rising (2009) Attica Locke "Superlative... the best bad-town novel in some time..." |  The Twelve (2009) (Jack Lennon Investigation , book 1) Stuart Neville "The best first novel I have read in years." |
 The Bad Always Die Twice (2011) (Nikki Harper mystery, book 1) Cheryl Crane "Cheryl Crane has written a superb mystery: rich in milieu, deep in plot twists, constant in the exercise of suspense and surprise.
