"THE BLUE CHEER is as well-written and well-plotted an example of the new Appalachian noir as you're likely to find. Ed Lynskey's hard-boiled narrative voice of protagonist Frank Johnson is distinctive, entertaining, and authentic. (If you're a verb fan especially, as I am, this book is for you!) Good stuff, and an excellent debut!" John Lescroart, New York Times bestselling author of BETRAYAL
"There's a new thoroughbred in the noir world of private investigators. Ed Lynskey's THE DIRT-BROWN DERBY is vintage crime -- smart, crisp dialogue, a town full of dysfunctional characters, a carefully twisted plot, and a terrifically enjoyable read." Linda Fairstein, New York Times bestselling author of KILLER HEAT
