I have always felt Ben Greer is one of the most underrated author's of our time. I discovered Ben Greer when I was in college. A paperback of Halloween was staring at me on the shelf of the New York University book store. After I read it, I sought out Slammer. He is an author who understands rich detail, complex character, ambiguity, suspense, and so much more.
