Review
The book has a tail-wagging, wisecracking tone. . . . Stiff shows that local politics can be both entertaining and deadly.”
San Francisco Chronicle
Readers who enjoyed the first Whelan novel especially those who enjoyed Maloney’s fresh use of language and his ability to serve up a laugh on pretty much every page will no doubt enjoy this one.”
