“Cliff Walk” Review Praises Character and Setting

Kirkus Reviews has weighed in with its review of Cliff Walk, my new Mulligan crime novel.

The reviewer says: “The epic, warts-and-all portrait of the city is scathing; ulcer-ridden wiseacre Mulligan (Rogue Island, 2010) is never less than compelling company; and the analogies between the newspaper business and the porn business are spot-on. As in Mulligan’s hard-nosed debut, the real star here is Providence, which the author knows intimately.”

Cliff Walk, the sequel to Edgar and Macavity Award-winning Rogue Island, will be published in hardcover by Forge on May 22. You can order an advance copy here.
