PRAISE FOR DAN SIMMONS AND HARDCASE
"Kurtz is probably the toughest, darkest 'hero' in crime fiction since Parker….But
the plot—the rushing, Whitewater rapids may be pushing the reader along so quickly
that the depth of the water goes unnoticed. And readers who figure hard-boiled
fiction was a tapped-out river will find a leviathan tugging on the line when they sink
their hooks in HARDCASE."
—Denver Post
"An exceptional tale….There's no letdown from explosive start to hell-for-leather
finish in this hard-as-nails detective story. Comparison with Richard Stark's amoral
bad guy Parker or Andrew Vachss's Burke are inevitable, but Kurtz is more Parker
than Burke: There is no sentimentality or excess prose here, just unceasing action
with a ragged edge. Simmons has crafted an exceptional tale of nonstop violence
and double cross. Watch out, bad guys! Kurtz is here! Enthusiastically
recommended."
—Library Journal
"[Simmons'] narrative is all sinew and bloody gristle… hard to beat for a pulp-fiction
beach-read."
—Publishers Weekly
"[Simmons] handles the carnage here as confidently as if he'd teethed on a .45."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Within the first five pages of HARDCASE, you know it's going to live up to its
title… if you're after a hard-core, full-tilt rocket ride, you'll find it in HARDCASE."
—Rocky Mountain News
"A dark… and cinematic story set among the surly and largely unloved denizens of
Buffalo, N.Y."
—Chicago Tribune
