Recensione:
"Jason Starr's terrific and Twisted City is one of his best. Starr knows what James M. Cain knew: that a whole world of evil lies right on the edge of the everyday world and you can cross the border in a city minute. His stuff is tough and real and brilliant." --Andrew Klavan, author of Dynamite Road
"To the obsessive emotionality of a Cornell Woolrich and the gleeful nihilism of a Charles Willeford, Jason Starr adds his own twenty-first century urban weirdness. Funny, sick and harrowing, often all at once, Twisted City more than lives up to its title, and I enjoyed it tremendously." --Scott Philips, author of The Ice Harvest
“Jason Starr is the first writer of his generation to convincingly update the modern crime novel by giving it provocative new spins.”–Bret Easton Ellis
“A throwback to the spare, snappy crime writing of Jim Thompson and James M. Cain.”–Entertainment Weekly
“A terrifically taut writer.” The Baltimore Sun
