Description: "A stunning work of fiction that is intense, deeply satisfying and always uniquely American . . . reminiscent of Michael Chabon's best."-- Los Angeles Times "A complex brain-teaser . . . riveting . . . Mullen's absorbing tale of larger-than-life criminals, car chases, and shootouts is not to be missed."-- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Magic noirism . . . wonderfully illuminates why 1930s America spawned so many dark heroes, and how similar that depression was at times to the recession we're experiencing now."-- The New York Times Book Review "Stylish storytelling [that] brings to life an earlier era to speak to our own . . . Mullen is a spirited writer, delivering consistently smart dialogue. . . . The women of the novel . . . form its emotional core."-- The Boston Globe "A full-throttle page-turner [with] a palpable sense of time and place . . . a high-wire balance of historical fiction and pulp fantasy"-- Toronto Star
