Raves For the Work of GIL BREWER!

“[One] of the most adroit plot-spinners of the paperback era.”

—Geoffrey O’Brien, Hardboiled America

—Allan Guthrie

“There is a Woolrichian darkness and desperation in his best work. It stays with you a long, long time.”

—Mickey Spillane & Max Allan Collins, A Century of Noir
