Reviews

Lean and lethal noir narrative
*The New York Times *

Undiluted noir . . . dark, urgent and utterly compelling
*Daily Mail*

Driven is a lean and nasty piece of neo-noir. I took my seat on page one and didn't get back up again until it ended (far too quickly.) Always a pleasure to be in the hands of a master like James Sallis
*Dennis Lehane*

Terse, brutal, poetic, perfectly wrought sequel. Come into this excellent novel cold, strap in, just hit the gas, and go
*Publishers Weekly starred review*

A mean, lean drive into darkness
*Financial Times*
