REVIEWS OF VERY BAD MEN

"A second mind-bending case for Ann Arbor editor David Loogan that begins just as simply and ominously and takes the reader on just as wild a journey. . . . The rare crime novel with something for everyone who reads crime fiction." 
> Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Smooth and appealing . . . [A] twist-filled adventure . . . The literate Loogan, who carries a Swiss Army knife instead of a gun and can improvise a weapon out of 500 sheets of recycled-bond paper, strikes an engaging tone between hard-boiled and whimsical."
> Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal

"Strong, well-developed, colorful characters, brisk dialogue and seemingly endless plot twists. . . . Easily one of the year's best mysteries." 
> Ray Walsh, Lansing State Journal

"A riveting crime novel . . . Relentless pacing, a wry sense of humor, and an engaging protagonist add up to another winner for Dolan." 
> Publishers Weekly

"With down-to-earth language, realistic dialogue, quirky but human characters and an off-kilter plot that brings to mind a Coen Brothers film, VERY BAD MEN is the mystery of the summer."
> San Antonio Express-News
