Críticas:
"Crumley writes like an angel on speed" (Time Out)
"The poet laureate of American hard-boiled literature, superior even to James Lee Burke in his ability to evoke extreme melancholy, gruesome violence and an acute sense of landscape" (Guardian)
"Reading Crumley is like hurtling through an assault course...funny, salty and ruthless...one of the marvels of contemporary crime writing" (Literary Review)
"Like James Ellroy, he is a master of American vernacular, turning tough-guy slang into something like poetry" (Independent)
"James Crumley, a critically acclaimed crime novelist whose drug-infused, alcohol-soaked, profanity-laced, breathtakingly violent books swept the hard-boiled detective from the Raymond Chandler era into an amoral, utterly dissolute, apocalyptic post-Vietnam universe" (New York Times)
