"This debut novel introduces an African-American boxer-turned-shamus struggling to ply his trade in Depression-era New Orleans...The best things here are Fletcher's detailed, precise first-person descriptions of boxing and slugging and his accounts of the racism to which he's routinely subjected." "Publishers Weekly "
A hardened P.I. with a touch of soul, authentic fight scenes, and evocative descriptions of rough-and-tumble 1930s New Orleans should cause lovers of historical mysteries to race to pick up this noir gem. This one's a knockout. "Layton Green, internationally bestselling author of The Dominic Grey series"
"The Red Storm" is a solid, hard-hitting (in more ways than one) debut. The New Orleans period background is very well done, the characters and story compelling. A hearty welcome to Grant Bywaters and William Fletcher. I look forward to their next. "Bill Pronzini, MWA Grand Master and Shamus award-winning author of the Nameless Detective series""
"[A] promising debut... Bywaters edges near Hammett territory with this unassuming hero who stoically accepts that, even though the odds are heavily stacked against him, he still needs to go on doing the best he can."--"Publishers Weekly"
