Reviews

A riveting crime novel . . . Relentless pacing, a wry sense of humor, and an engaging protagonist add up to another winner for Dolan * Publishers Weekly *
A second mind-bending case for David Loogan that begins just as simply and ominously and takes the reader on just as wild a journey . . . Dolan mixes his pitches with an ace's judgment . . . The rare crime novel with something for everyone who reads crime fiction * Kirkus *
Smooth and appealing . . . a twist-filled adventure . . . the characters in this engaging work are full of surprises * The Wall Street Journal *
Dolan makes sure that both the characters and dialogue stay rough around the edges, just like the scenery of northern Michigan, giving Very Bad Men a satisfyingly realist bite * Mystery Scene Magazine *
