Review
Wright's book just offers mystery-lovers one more reason to snuggle up with the bedside light on, immersed in a well-crafted tale. -- Barb Livingstone For longtime fans of Wright's work, there's no classier act than his Charlie Salter series. -- Joan Barfoot In The Last Hand Salter and Wright depart in very close to their top form in one of crime fiction's most absorbing and rewarding series. -- Jack Batten The Last Hand is an excellent novel, but one expects nothing less from Mr. Wright. The plot is watertight, and a cast of strong characters, both familiar and new, populates the pages. -- Catherine Thompson This is a neat old-fashioned type of tale that shows detective novels need not rely on DNA testing, excessive violence and high body counts to challenge and entertain. -- John North As always, Wright's style is as smooth as silk. This is a great last hand for a fine creation. -- Margaret Cannon
