About The Book
Jon A. Jackson’s novels about Detroit Detective Sergeant “Fang” Mulheisen have caused The New York Times to exclaim, “How long can Jon A. Jackson remain the best-kept secret of hard-boiled crime fiction connoisseurs? . . .
Praise
“Addictive.” –Chicago Tribune
“Jackson writes with the same quirky appetite of his hero and the patience of a virtuoso jazzman. He plays the head, sets the novel up in good Elmore Leonard style and then takes his time, playing a chorus, visiting keys you might not think have anything to do with the plot. . . . And then, pow–he clamps down on his hard-bitten mouthpiece–the man wails on his axe and blows the heat away!” –Los Angeles Times Book Review
“Jackson is becoming the most plausible candidate to inherit the mantle of the great Charles Willeford.” –Associated Press
“Anyone who sits on the hard-boiled side of the aisle and hasn’t yet met Fang Mulheisen is in for a rare treat.” –Booklist
