Critics Review
“Gripping… . It begins in the clipped, tough-guy manner of Dashiell Hammett … but by the end it enters a strange … twilight zone all its own.” –The Wall Street Journal“Ambitious, expansive… . Walker Dett [is] a superb creation.” –Entertainment Weekly“A sprawling epic… . A raw portrait of a volatile era.” –Philadelphia City Paper“If you’re craving a midsummer mystery … Andrew Vachss has something special for youÉa dark, violent and even weird tale… . The plot … zips ahead with the speed of one of those dangerously overpowered late-1950s Oldsmobile 88s… . The bits and pieces cut back and forth among the characters, like a fast-paced movie.” –St. Louis Post-Dispatch
