Bill Pronzini recommends
Wolf Moon
Wolf Moon (1993)
Ed Gorman
"Ed Gorman is a true original in the Western field...And Wolf Moon is one of his best...Suspenseful, savage, and a whole lot more."
.44
.44 (1997)
H A DeRosso
"H. A. DeRosso is a poet of the Western shadowlands."
Memorial Day
Memorial Day (2004)
(Mick Callahan)
Harry Shannon
"I enjoyed "Memorial Day" from first page to last. Mick Callahan is my kind of character - flawed and vulnerable, tanaceous and likeable. His debut is a fast, edgy, twisty, modern noir thriller with an expertly realized desert setting."
