That what's you get with Dan Reno. Hard hitting, take no prisoners. We need more men like Dan Reno. Excellently plotted thriller, never loses momentum and a sort of inverted, manic vitality. Dave Stanton is what l would call a writer. That is the style of writing l REALLY enjoy. I've been searching for a really good hard-boiled detective writer for quite a while. I found what I was looking for in Dave Stanton's Stateline. Great book! Gritty and grownup, Stateline breaks the mold of popular fiction. By giving human flaws their due attention, the characters become rich and believable. Wow! Talk about a fast-paced, keep-you-guessing, mystery that will have you glued to it until the end. I'm definitely looking for more to read by Dave Stanton! Stanton's characters Dan Reno and Cody Gibbons reminded me of James Lee Burke's characters Dave Robicheaux and Clete Purcell.

A hard-boiled crime thriller in which a nearly broke private detective takes a grieving tycoon's bounty to hunt his son's killer. Gritty noir suspense of crooked cops, a murdered groom, a haunted past and survival from snowy mountains to lonely desert.
Cancel the wedding, the groom is dead.
When a tycoon’s son is murdered the night before his wedding, the enraged and grief-stricken father offers private detective Dan Reno a life-changing bounty to find the killer. Reno, nearly broke, figures he’s finally landed in the right place at the right time. It’s a nice thought, but when a band of crooked cops get involved, Reno finds himself not only earning every penny of his paycheck, but also fighting for his life.
Who committed the murder, and why? Which cops can he trust, if any? Haunted by his murdered father and a violent, hard drinking past, Reno wants no more blood on his hands. But a man’s got to make a living, and backing off isn't in his DNA. Traversing the snowy alpine winter in the Sierras and the lonely deserts of Nevada, Reno must revert to his old ways to survive. Because the fat bounty won’t do him much good if he’s dead.
Stateline is a gritty, adrenaline-fueled ride from start to finish, packed with vividly portrayed characters. Brilliantly written, it'll keep you turning the pages late into the night.
