Critics Review
Praise for Ghost Barn“I have been an embarrassingly big fan of John Verdon for almost twenty years. His novels feel at once old-fashioned and shockingly new, and his hero, Dave Gurney, is one of the more intriguing American detectives of an era with several great ones. I’ve never been let down by a Verdon novel and Ghost Barn is yet another winner, a novel as surprising as it is prescient about the times we find ourselves living in. This is a perfect culmination of a series that has riveted me for a long time from a writer who has just gotten better with each book, and I can’t speak highly enough about it. Verdon is simply one of the best to ever do it.” —Will Lavender, author of DominancePraise for the Dave Gurney Series“John Verdon writes grown-up detective novels, by which I mean stories with intelligent plots, well-developed characters and crimes that have social consequences.” —The New York Times Book Review
