"As dark and twisted as anything Hammett or Chandler ever dreamed up...." —Kirkus, Starred Review

"Approaching the level of Lawrence Block is no mean feat, but Goldberg succeeds with this engaging PI novel." —Publishers Weekly

"A wonderfully fresh voice in the mystery genre, Goldberg will delight fans of Janet Evanovich and Robert Crais," —Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson & the Olympians

Los Angeles cop John "Tidal Wave" McGrave is an unstoppable force of nature who always gets his man...even if it means laying waste to everything around him...which is exactly what happens when he pursues the leader of an international gang of violent thieves to Berlin.

"The story is a blistering read from page one to the gut-wrenching ending. it sucks you in, yanks you through the story at a vicious pace, and leaves you sprawling, gasping for air at the finish line. Strap in and hold tight," —Mel Odom, author of the Left Behind Apocalypse series

"Tougher than Shaft, more violent than Dirty Harry, McGrave is a cop who disaster attaches to like a limpet." —Planet Peschel

"This book is the literary equivalent of buffalo wings and boilermakers." —Post Modern Pulps
