Review Quotes

Starred Review. It's thrilling to rediscover early stories by Bill Pronzini, Doug Allen, and S. J. Rozan before they hit the big time.

A wonderful collection, and ridiculously inexpensive for all these delightful stories.--Otto Penzler

Aspects of sin and redemption are everywhere in this hefty volume stuffed with nearly three dozen tales from the pages of one of the longest-living American crime-story monthlies.--Tom Nolan

Starred Review. Outstanding. This is a must-have for all serious mystery readers.

Starred Review. These are uniformly satisfying stories that have stood the test of time. Having them available again, under one cover, is a bonus for mystery fans.
