Status Updates From Fast Charlie

In its own words, “wonderfully silly and cliché.”

Fast Charlie Swift shoves a kid named Parker in a trash can, but it’s Gischler’s quick, low, and dirty prose specked with the occasional cigarette-thin slice of urban poetry is a far more fitting homage to Richard Stark’s rampaging thief from another time.

Victor Gischler writes like he’s read every crime novel on planet Earth, and maybe even some from outer space. Standard issue characters walk his mass-market world, but Gischler’s dark wit punches out a bit more depth to their shadows. He’s someone I wanna have a beer with, and you can tell which characters he feels that way toward, too.
