Review Quotes:
"McPartland is that rarity, a writer of tough novels who feels tough himself. McPartland was one of the Gold Medal blue-collar writers; had served in Korea; obviously knew the black-market milieu of that war; came back and wrote raw, rugged, at times very powerful novels."--John Fraser, blog
"McPartland was probably one of Gold Medal's best...deliciously character-driven and noir-influenced."--Pornokitsch
"Captures that lofty air of bored and privileged youth...trying so hard to be hip with bohemian banter and cool jazz."--Larry Crawford, Browned Pages & Broken Spines
