Eddie Dancer is a welcome figure on the Canadian crime genre landscape. He’s as tough as Robert B. Parker’s Spenser, with a dry wit and a cast of friends from the wrong side of jail bars. He takes things in stride; going days without money, doesn’t blink at cons who lie to him, and enjoys the come-and-go friendship of his associate Danny Many Guns. His curiosity and humanity often make him go beyond the case he’s working on…
The plot is twisted, fast-paced, and flawless. High stakes and a movie rated ending make this story a hard to follow bonanza for another series book. Harrison has served up an exciting tale of the underworld, the double-cross, corruption, along with the code among criminals. And Eddie dances with them all.
This debut series novel bodes well for a starlit career for Mike Harrison.
