From the Inside Flap:
High Praise For the Novels of Dan Mahoney
The Protectors:
"Mahoney...has the procedural elements locked down tight, and in McKenna and Cisco he has created a pair of the most likeable dangerous cops in current crime fiction. The locales--New York City and Spain-are nicely rendered, and the conclusion is both surprising and satisfying."-Booklist (starred review)
"Mahoney is a retired cop who writes his mysteries with colorful style and dramatic flair." - Publishers Weekly
The Two Chinatowns:
"The Two Chinatowns has clearly been written by an author with real procedural experience...The main virtue of Mr. Mahoney's fine detective story is the strength of the illusion it sustains that things could have happened almost the way they happen in this book."-Richard Bernstein, The New York Times Book Daily
"Mahoney...knows the nuts and bolts of a sweeping multijurisdictional police operation. He is also able to portray complex, believable characters struggling mightily with their own muddled lives. Fans of William Caunitz, Robert Daley, and Ed McBain will savor this top-drawer procedural."-Wes Lukowsky, Booklist
"A complex plot is no deterrent to enjoyment of Mahoney's ambitious thriller...Mahoney's characters are always solid, and this tale is almost a primer on Chinese community dynamics. He pulls no punches and speeds to a perfect ending."-Publishers Weekly
Black and White:
"Mahoney gives compulsive procedural buffs exactly what they crave."- The New York Times Book Review
"Black and White is as gripping a novel about a police investigation as you can get...a top-notch thriller."-Chicago Tribune
"Few authors map the political minefields faced by cops on a high-profile case with more realism than Mahoney...a brilliantly twisted plot."- Publishers Weekly
"Exact and fascinating."-Kirkus Reviews
"Compelling, graphic."-Booklist
"Mahoney does a great job of showing us an insider's view of a cop's world."-Denver Rocky Mountian News
"Mahoney...draws on his 25 years as a cop to provide blow-by-blow description of how homicide detectives do their job."-The Free-Lance Star
"Suspenseful...graphic details...the finale is a shocker."-The Sunday Oklahoman
Once In, Never Out:
"Mahoney doesn't sell his readers short. He keeps the action moving."-Chicago Tribune
"Mahoney...knows the drill on conducting a manhunt...and he takes us through the crime-scene photos, the morgue visits, the criminal profiling, the computer searches, and all the rest of it with scientific precision and absolute authenticity."-Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
"Gripping...With absorbing exotic background and richly developed characters, Mahoney...delivers an unusual procedural that rises far above the genre norm."-Publishers Weekly
"Succeeds wonderfully...A superb effort from an emerging master of the genre."-Kirkus Reviews
"A nonstop roller-coaster ride of a thriller...Fast-paced and lean."-The Irish Echo
