"Second novels in a promising series must be among the hardest literary tricks to pull off . . . Spiegelman has done it with stunning skill. [He] has the heart, head and writing skills to make his setting explode with rare light and excitement."-"The Chicago Tribune"
"Shamus-winner Spiegelman's intricate, intelligent second thriller features all-too-human New York PI John March . . . Spiegelman makes all the details ring true, and his fine prose can be lyrical. While the determined March has the requisite grit, he is also appealingly vulnerable and introspective."-"Publishers Weekly"
"Private eye John March follows the money again in a worthy sequel to his impressive debut (Shamus-winner "Black Maps") . . . [Spiegelman] is a serious talent that rewards interest now with better around the corner."-"Kirkus"
"Spiegelman cements his growing reputation as one of the finest of the new generation reworking the PI genre. He is that rare novelist who knows what he wants to say, and he knows how to say it, which makes for a absorbing, suspenseful and thoughtful book."-David Liss, author of "A Spectacle of Corruption "and "A Conspiracy of Paper"
"Peter Spiegelman has an equal intimacy with the workings of an investment bank and those of the human heart, and he can paint them with equally nuanced colors. A fine book by a fine writer."--S.J. Rozan, author of "Absent Friends" and "Winter and Night
"
"This is a classic private-eye novel, a head-clearing treat that reminds a reader of everything that a good PI novel can do. But Peter Spiegelman's John March is also his own man and his take on New York is decidedly, refreshingly modern."-Laura Lippman, author of "By a Spider'sThread "and "Every Secret Thing"
""Death's Little Helpers" is a multi-layered novel of compassion and power. Crackling dialogue, a plot that just won't quit, and a melancholy that is pure noir. Blistering, driven narrative from a writer at the very top of his game."
-Ken Bruen, author of "The Killing of the Tinkers "and "The Guards"
