Our Pick for the Next Great Noir Writer

IndieNext, the long and far-ranging eye of the American Booksellers Association has latched onto our pick for the next great Indie Noir writer . . . Boston crime writer Dave Zeltserman.

IndieNext

“Dave Zeltserman returns with a tale of the South Boston Mob so harrowing it places him alongside contemporary masters Robert Crais and James Ellroy. One of the few writers whose tales are both brutal and beautiful, Zeltserman is a rising star of crime fiction.”
-- Alex Green, Back Pages Books, Waltham, MA
"What a sick puppy of a writer Dave Zeltserman is ...a doozy of a doom-laden crime story that not only makes merry with the justice system, but also satirizes those bottom feeders in the publishing industry who would sign Osama bin Laden to a six-figure contract for his memoirs, if only they could figure out which cave to send their lawyers into...I'd say Zeltserman can't top Pariah for its sheer diabolical inventiveness, but he probably will. And given that the corrupting vision of his work is so powerful, I ought to know better than to read the next novel he writes. But I probably will anyway."--Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post
