On BADLANDS / PLAY DEAD:

“This is a stunning novel. Montanari seems poised to take his place on the top ranks of the mystery field.” - Booklist (Starred Review)

“A superior thriller. [Detectives] Byrne and Balzano possess a psychological depth all too rare in such fiction.” - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

Hey,

Just a quick note to let you know that my new novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available. Thought you might like it since it's been compared to Larry Brown, whom I noticed you like. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Take care,

Hey-- Just wanted to say that I read your first two books of your Byrnes/Balzano detective series and I really enjoyed them! So glad you are on this website!
I just started Merciless and I have a feeling it won't take me long to finish! We were hoping you'd stop by J-B last week since the mystery book club was reading The Skin Gods. (Bob said he tried to get ahold of you.) I loved Skin Gods and wanted to reread it before I started the new book.

I'm glad to see you here at LibraryThing - one of my favorite book spots on the web!

Hi Jebbie,

Thanks for the note. I'm thrilled you enjoyed the book. THE SKIN GODS is coming out in paperback on July 31, as is MERCILESS, the latest in the Philadelphia series. MERCILESS will be published in Ballantine hardcover. I hope you enjoy them, as well.

All my best,

Richard
Hiya! Just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know I loved your book The Rosary Girls and look forward to reading the next two in the series. :)
You got your badge of honor! That is so cool. Now you should consider joining the Heights Library group.
