Ed Duncan and 1 other person liked Alex S's review of Pigeon-Blood Red (Thrilogy): "A quick, fast-paced crime thriller. Character interactions are relatable and use common speech which makes it seem more likely to have happened. Some parts even reminded me of scenes from Burn Notice or Lee Child's The Killing Floor."

“What they learned would have deterred most men, but there were two kinds of men who, under the circumstances, refuse to be deterred: Men who were too dumb to appreciate the danger they faced and men who were too foolhardy to care.”
