Jason Starr's name came up a little while back, with a great
deal of praise from a few of you. On those recommendations, I
picked up both COLD CALLER and NOTHING PERSONAL. I read them
back-to-back in two days in sheer delight and awe. This guy
is incredible! If even a fraction of those novels that label
themselves "noir" or "hardboiled" or "suspense" were half as
good as these two novels, I'd be in heaven. I can't recommend
these two books more - bleak storylines, vivid characters,
staccato pacing...these are the kind of novels readers of
hardboiled literature crave. Without question, certainly two
of the best novels I've read in recent memory.
A request: can whoever posted Starr's homepage URL please do
so again?
