 |  "The American private eye story was in the dumpster when Fred Zackel 
              fished it out at he point of a gun. He revived the form, electrified 
              readers and critics, and started the juggernaut that shoved aside 
              the paperback romance to established mystery as the most popular 
              category in the world. Finally, the generation that grew up since 
              COCAINE AND BLUE EYES has the chance to meet Michael Brennan. An 
              event like this ought to have a national holiday connected to it." 
              LOREN ESTLEMAN, author of NICOTINE KISS
