“Bernie Gunther is the most antiheroic of antiheroes in this gripping, offbeat thriller. It's the story of his struggle to preserve what's left of his humanity, and his life, in a world where the moral bandwidth is narrow, satanic evil at one end, cynical expediency at the other.”
— Philip Caputo, author of A Rumor of War
“Part of the allure of these novels is that Bernie is such an interesting creation, a Chandleresque knight errant caught in insane historical surroundings. Bernie walks down streets so mean that nobody can stay alive and remain truly clean.”
— John Powers, Fresh Air (NPR)
“A thriller that will challenge preconceptions and stimulate the little grey cells.”
— The Times (London), selecting Field Gray as a Thriller of the Year
