Quotes

“It’s the glint off a knife’s edge. The bullet raked into the gun’s chamber. Knuckles cracking just before the first fist is thrown. It’s hot blood steaming off cold NYC concrete. It’s K’wan’s world, baby. Furious action and bruising insights delivered at midnight. This is writing that draws blood and heals souls.” Stephen Mack Jones, author of the August Snow series
