What They're Saying
Critics Review
“An exciting crime novel that doesn’t skimp on introspection.” - Time Out New York “…one of the most intriguing novelists writing now.” - Review of Contemporary Fiction “Plate reveals a brutal barbarous society in which there is no honesty among thieves and law enforces… This is a powerful, deeply felt book.” - The Saturday Times “Plate’s sixth novel in the past decade and probably his best. His San Francisco is a fiery hell, where the Devil rides in a squad car, and God doesn’t deign to put in an appearance.” - The San Francisco Chronicle
