The Jones Men cover

An all-out drug war explodes in 1970s Detroit when a young Vietnam veteran decides to rip off heroin kingpin Willis McDaniel. In the chaos, rival outfits, the Mafia, and even junkies themselves try to step in to fill the void while one lone assassin tries to hunt them all down—and one determined cop tries to stop it all.

A large accomplishment in the art of fiction ... written with terse, impersonal immediacy ... seen, heard, felt and reflected off the blue-steel barrel of a handgun. 


--New York Times Book Review


A fierce taut action tale ... It moves on crisply cinematic chase scenes and bloody murder rendered in karate-chop language that knifes through the gunsmoke and flashes over the blood puddles without a bit of false sympathy. 


--Newsweek


The best street novel I ever read until now was Little Caesar. The Jones Men exceeds it in importance. The Jones Men is a work of art. 


--Richard Condon, author of The Manchurian Candidate
