Dynamite Road

Review ''Klavan's riveting blend of mystery, wiseass attitude, and old-fashioned moralizing makes for a wild ride.'' --Publishers Weekly (starred review)''Filled with characters straight out of a 1950s potboiler, this rip-roarin' story is tailor-made for hard-boiled fans with a soft spot for the pulp masters.'' --Booklist''Many authors try to be overly dramatic, but not Klavan. His pace is perfect, and his reading smooth. Klavan particularly excels with his portrayals of investigator Jim Bishop, who not only finds himself in the middle of the action, but also appears to fall for Kathleen Wannamaker, whose husband becomes 'expendable' when Bishop enters the scene.'' --AudioFile''Fans of hard-boiled detectives that make Spade and Marlow look like wimps will enjoy Dynamite Road.'' --TheBestReviews.com''Klavan does tough-guy heroes and sexual tension better than anyone writing today.'' --Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author Product Description [*Read by the author - Andrew Klavan]A routine investigation into corruption at a Northern California airport sets in motion shocking events that lead hard man Jim Bishop and world-weary ex-cop boss Scott Weiss into the center of a massive criminal conspiracy.
