Ted Likes the Book. Why don't you?

Ted Fitzgerald, reviewer for Deadly Pleasures, tells me he likes The Concrete Maze. He liked that I was able "to make credible this story of ordinary citizens going up against professional criminals and that the story didn't end in a cinematic bloodbath".

Now, the book is hardboiled, so there is some blood. Just not a blood bath. That's important. I write action sequences well, so tossing in a bloodbath is a strategy I have sometimes relied on. Not necessarily a bad thing. The first Precinct Puerto Rico novel has a blood bath. Two, in fact. Still a good book. Those scenes fit that book. The Concrete Maze is a bit more nuanced.

Anyway, if you want to see for yourself, I've got a few copies I can give away here. Let me know and I'll send you one while supplies last.
