4. A Black Sail
by Rich Zahradnik
A "starred" review from Library Journal
"This latest series outing (after Drop Dead Punk) offers a blast from the time
machine back to New York City’s bad old days in the 1970s. Taylor, while out to
get the story and get back to the crime beat, is complex and has a good heart.
VERDICT Fans of the late Barbara D’Amato and Bruce DeSilva will relish this
gritty and powerful crime novel."

5. "The pace is of necessity quick and varied, Rich
Zahradnik's characters are well established and
interesting, and the plot is intense and convoluted.
There is a wonderful retro dime novel flavor to the
protagonist and the telling which really suits the New
York City setting. And Zahradnik's knowledge and use
of the huge variety of watercraft is smoothly
researched and presented. Gritty, tough, and well
done – this one's a treat."
