Reviews

"Undiluted noir." -Booklist ..".pulpy, ritualistic, and satisfying a guilty pleasure packed into a time capsule from 1960."- Kirkus ..".impeccable hardboiled prose with sharp as a razor dialogue, femmes fatales in perfect deshabille, villains galore, gang wars and a chilling lesson in how to disappear and evade justice. That is, until fate, coincidence and the foibles of human nature inevitable catch up with you. First rate." -Maxim Jakubowski "Sinner Manis a splendid example of the form, and is highly recommended for both fans of and newcomers to the genre." -Sequart "It was well worth the effort. SINNER MAN is essential reading for the multitude of Block fans. It is also recommended as a finer example of the kind of stories that flooded the market in the heady, early days of the paperback publishing industry." -Bookgasm "Adamn fine crime novel..." -Criminal Element "Sinner Man is classic pulp from a master." - Crime Fiction Lover"
