He makes us feel that the war he’s waging is for our own salvation.” —Walter Mosley, author of the Easy Rawlins series “Gary Phillips is my kind of writer and Ivan Monk my kind of detective . . . . An unbeatable combination.” —Sara Paretsky, author of the V. I. Warshawski series “Seen through the prose of Gary Phillips, L.A. seems a new and much more interesting place.” —Tom Nolan, author of Ross Macdonald: A Biography “Phillips creates a harrowing, deft portrayal of post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, capturing its people, its mood and its language with a skill so keen that he verges on sleight of hand.” —Wendy Hornsby, author of the Maggie MacGowen series “Gary Phillips knows Los Angeles and gives readers a realistic, gritty portrait of this city in turmoil through the eyes of his African-American PI.” —The Armchair Detective “Monk’s sense of absurdity and his perfectly emulsified blend of toughness and tenderness make him one of crime fiction’s most appealing heroes.” —Booklist
