I was very pleased to hear from Down & Out Books that my forthcoming August Riordan novel concerning a previously undiscovered Jack Kerouac manuscript,  The Dead Beat Scroll, received a very generous review from The New York Journal of Books. Here’s a pull quote:

Glorious potpourri of violence, black humor, … sex, and a hunt for a lost manuscript… Read The Dead Beat Scroll, and enjoy again the type of mystery novel that defined this genre.

And here is a link to the full review.
