Praise for Bill Pronzini
“This isn’t your average western novel—it’s much better…an outstanding, carefully-crafted, enjoyable look at America’s forgotten past.”—The Lansing State Journal on Give-a-Damn Jones
“Give-a-Damn Jones is a delightful cross-section of small-town life in pre-statehood Montana. It feels true to life…”—The Oklahoman on Give-a-Damn Jones
“One of the best in the mystery-suspense field.”—The Washington Post Book World
“[Nameless] is the classic private-eye hero pared down to the bone; he has no identity except for his detective work…He is a remarkable creation.”—Chicago Sun-Times
“The best rock ‘n’ roll songs are two minutes fifty seconds long, and the best short detective novels are written by Bill Pronzini. In both genres you are drawn in immediately, have a lot of fun, and when it’s over, you look ahead to the next time.”—The Boston Globe
“The reader’s involvement with Nameless and his problems continues to increase in intensity, making the series succeed on an emotional level rare in the field.”—Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine
“The Nameless Detective novels are a thinking reader’s detective series.”—Chicago Sun-Times
“There is no living writer whose work more faithfully embodies the spirit of classic private-eye fiction than Bill Pronzini’s. [It is] classy, classy noir storytelling.”—The Plain Dealer (Cleveland)
