Review:
"Snitch Jacket is a great read, full of the blood and grit of true character. Sometimes hilarious, and sometimes all too disturbingly real, this book announces the arrival of a great new writer in Christopher Goffard." -- Michael Connelly
"Snitch Jacket is a wonder of sentences that sing . . . the sights and smells and fast talking are all so memorable that we can't help looking forward to what comes next from this talented writer's mind and pen." -- Sarah Weinman, Los Angeles Times
"Christopher Goffard sees Southern California with a keen eye, and he writes with an incandescent humor that is remarkable. Pull up a seat at the narrator's favorite bar--the Greasy Tuesday--and enjoy the madness going on around you." -- T. Jefferson Parker
"Goffard's prose shimmers with intelligence and humor, and he has a keen ear for telling detail. Fans of such cultish neo-noir scribes as Charlie Huston and Duane Swierczynski will be richly rewarded." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review
"In its dark vision [Snitch Jacket] would probably give Raymond Chandler night sweats . . . you won't close it until the last page." -- Gregory McNamee, St. Petersburg Times
