From the Back Cover:
"Underkill is a very fine novel and Leonard Chang grows more impressive with each book. I thought Over the Shoulder was a stand out and now Allen Choice is back in a story even more stirring and absorbing. The key is character. Chang works like a painter, carefully brushing strokes of truth and depth on all of his characters. This portrait is a winner."
--Michael Connelly
"Leonard Chang writes beautifully about the wounds of his characters and the wounds of society as a whole. Putting one in mind of Steve Hamilton, S. J. Rozan and Dennis Lehane, he may well be the next big name in crime fiction."
--James Sallis, author of the Lew Griffin novels
"Since his first fine book, which showed him to be a fully accomplished writer, Leonard Chang has been developing his range and has given the reader, in the character of Allen Choice, a fully-developed yet fallible hero. Once encountered, Choice, his girlfriend Linda Maldonado, and their complex adventures will absorb the reader and-one hopes-ensure yet another tale of this caliber in the future, and another, and another."
--Thomas Keneally, author of Schindler's List
