"Darkly funny, wildly stylish, and full of heart, Lou Berney’s Crooks is a tour de force, a decades-spanning epic of the most charming, eccentric family you could hope to meet. Every setting dazzles, every sentence crackles, and every character steals the scene."

- Angie Kim
New York Times bestselling author

"Crooks is dazzling: a panoramic, cross-generational look at a uniquefamily pursuing their individual visions of the American dream. Vivid, ingenious, compassionate — a tour de force."

- Joseph Finder
New York Times bestselling author

"I love Crooks...the richly disparate settings and pitch-perfect eras, the ebb-and-flow pacing and the lightning bolts of humor, but most of all I simply love the sentence-by-sentence writing, offering profound reading enjoyment on every page."

- Chris Pavone
New York Times bestselling author

"In Double Barrel Bluff, Shake remains a lovable, wise-cracking hero, and Berney does him justice with a cast of memorable supporting characters and a gorgeously rendered Southeast Asian locale. This sterling neo-noir series continues to deliver."

"Dark Ride is a wild, funny, intense, charming, brilliantly-written thriller that I couldn’t have loved more. From page one to the stunning end, I was under its spell."

- Lisa Lutz,
New York Times bestselling author

“Only Lou Berney could create Hardly, one of the most endearingcharacters in recent memory. Writing in his Hardly’s guileless, hilariously dude-ish narrative voice, Berney is incapable of producing a wrong or unnecessary sentence."

Dark Ride is moving, deeply involving, funny, breathless, and I loved every single page of Hardy’s harrowing journey from stoner to sleuth.”
