Review:

“Edward Bunker is among the tiny band of American prisoner-writers whose work possesses integrity, craftsmanship, and moral passion...an artist with a unique and compelling voice.” ―William Styron

“Edward Bunker writes about the netherworld of society's outcasts with a passion and insight that comes from having lived life close to the bone.” ―The Los Angeles Times

“Mr. Bunker has written a raw, unromantic, naturalistic crime drama more lurid than anything the noiresque Chandlers or Hammetts ever dreamed up.” ―The New York Times on Dog Eat Dog
