      Praise for John Lutz

      “Lutz’s skill will keep you glued to this thriller.”

      —St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Night Kills

      “Brilliant…a very scary and suspenseful read.”

      —Booklist on In for the Kill

      “Shamus-and Edgar award–winner Lutz gives us further proof of his enormous talent for crafting great police fiction…another enthralling page-turner.”

      —Publishers Weekly on In for the Kill

      “Since Lutz can deliver a hard-boiled P.I. novel or a bloody thriller with equal ease, it’s not a surprise to find him applying his skills to a police procedural in Chill of Night. But the ingenuity of the plot shows that Lutz is in rare form.”

      —The New York Times Book Review on Chill of Night

      “Lutz ranks with such vintage masters of big-city murder as Lawrence Block and Ed McBain.”

      —St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Chill of Night

      “A fast-moving novel, a plot-driven page-turner of the first order.”

      —Book Page on Fear of Night

      More Praise for John Lutz

      —Publishers Weekly on Fear the Night

      —St. Louis Post-Dispatch
