Atkins gets the hardest parts right--his hero/narrator now sounds indistinguishable from Robert B. Parker's...Readers who've always wanted to see Spenser in Tinseltown can cross that off their bucket lists.--Kirkus Reviews

Atkins continues to do a fine job of extending the life of Robert B. Parker's characters and capturing the tone of the Spenser series. Parker would be proud of Atkins' wise-guypatter; the violence is exciting and nicely choreographed; and Atkins' plots are complex enough to holdreaders' interest yet do not get in the way of the suspense.--Booklist

"Atkins does a great job making Spenser sarcastic and funny in the face of danger and keeps the plot moving along as danger seems to be around every corner."--Parkersburg News & Sentinel

Spenser [is] the late master Robert B. Parker's greatest creation. . . The complex plot keeps things interesting but never gets in the way of what always matters most in the world Spenser inhabits. That's the characters Parker brought to life and their singular voices. . . [Atkins] has stayed true to his voice and his literate, dialogue-driven vision while keeping his characters compelling and allowing them to grow. If you love crime fiction and aren't already reading Ace Atkins, you should be."--Chicago Sun-Times
