Quotes

“A top-rate thriller told in stripped-down language that races to a climax.” Washington Post

“I couldn’t stop at one page. I had to reread the whole book…I don’t think I’ll be the only one who still finds that old hook as sharp as ever.” Mystery Scene

“Narrator Dan John Miller dives into the role of Fletch with gusto. Miller’s tone reflects the ace reporter’s approach to his undercover disguise as a beach bum while working to ferret out drug sources for a big story.” AudioFile
