Review
“[A] fast-paced book, well-plotted . . . A splendid procedural expressed in sharp, economical, yet sensitive prose.” —The New York Times Book Review “A dandy first novel, heavy shades of Elmore Leonard . . . Mordant humor, snappy dialogue, and frequent plot twists.” —Kirkus Reviews “An eerie, gripping tale . . . Cleverly plotted and filled with wonderfully drawn characters.” —Philadelphia Daily News
About the Author
Joseph Koenig is an author of hard-boiled fiction. A former crime reporter, he won critical acclaim and an Edgar nomination for his first novel, Floater (1986), a grimly violent story of con men, cops, and killers in the Florida Everglades. His next two novels were Little Odessa (1988), a darkly comic tale of life in New York’s Ukrainian underworld, and Smugglers Notch (1989), a story of brutal murder in snowbound Vermont. Koenig’s fourth novel, the groundbreaking Brides of Blood (1993), won strong reviews for its elegant treatment of police procedure in Islamic Iran. For nearly two decades after Brides of Blood, Koenig did not publish. But in 2012 the pulp-style publishing house Hard Case Crime released his newest novel, False Negative, a rollicking mystery about a journalist who, like Koenig once did, writes for true-crime magazines.
