William Lashner is a former criminal prosecutor with the Department of Justice in Washington D.C. and a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. His novels have been published world-wide and have been nominated for two Shamus Awards, a Gumshoe Award, an Edgar Award, and been selected as an Editor’s Choice in the New York Times Book Review. When he was a kid his favorite books were The Count of Monte Cristo and any comic with the Batman on the cover.
I love all of Bill's work and cannot recommend him enough to anyone. I hope they finally publish this book so everyoione can enjoy Lashner's tribute to the movie 'M' his personal choice of Peter Laurie's best work.
While it lackes a good deal of the humor of his other works, this is a must read for anyone who has known the Atlantic City shoreline, or just loves a good quick mystery
