Acclaim for Richard Godwin…

“Richard Godwin is a fearless and imaginative writer, unafraid of stretching the boundaries into realms where the best tales come from. Godwin’s name deserves to be on the lips of all readers, and his books in their hands.”

—Matt Hilton, author of the best selling Joe Hunter thrillers.

“If you love Ken Bruen and John Connolly, Godwin’s the man you will be following next.”

—Scott Phillips, bestselling author of The Ice Harvest and Cottonwood.

“Richard Godwin knows how his characters dress, what they drink and what they drive. He knows how they live – and how they die. Here’s hoping no one recognized themselves in Godwin’s cold canvas. Combines the fun of a good story with the joy of witty, vivid writing.”
