“[The] small Pennsylvania town possesses a Twin Peaks–like sense of menace that drives the narrative and keeps us rooting for Richie to return to the relative safety of Manhattan.”

— Washington Post“A violent, twisted story of betrayal and intrigue, power and passion—all set to the beat of rock and roll.”

— Mystery Scene magazine" David Fulmer is a fine (and underappreciated) writer. I did enjoy this but was disappointed that it was not up to the standard of his New Orleans/Storyville series. This one takes place in 2002 and tries to make a point about the US in a post-9-11 world. I'll definitely keep seeking his work out. "
