“Griffin knows the dark and violent world he writes about. It is our good fortune he is also possessed of the keen talent to write of it so vividly.”—James Carlos Blake, author of The Ways of Wolfe
“As one of the few national columnists in America who is Latino—and the son of a retired cop—I was eager to see how cop-turned-novelist Griffin would craft Omar Ortega, a Mexican-American teenager who straddles the line between overzealous cops and bad actors in his neighborhood until his lucks runs out. Telling that story, with all its realism and necessary color—but also with the nuance, honesty and complexity it deserves—is no easy task. [Griffin is] a gifted storyteller with plenty of grit and real-life experience to back up the prose.”—Ruben Navarette
