Praise for the Novels of Kris Nelscott "War at ""Home" "A gripping read . . . As with the best of Mosley and Chandler, Dalton's fifth outing leaves us eagerly anticipating the next one." "--Entertainment Weekly" "Nelscott excels at setting a scene, and her evocation of student unrest during that unsettled time is sharp and memorable." "--The ""Seattle"" Times" " " "Stone Cribs" "Kris Nelscott can lay claim to the strongest series of detective novels now being written by an American author." --"Salon.com" "Thin Walls" "A triumphant series . . . Gripping . . . Nelscott's books about Dalton have already been compared favorably to Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins series. The big difference is that Easy Rawlins has bought into the Los Angeles land-owning dream, while Smokey Dalton, a more militant avenging angel, mostly wants to stay alive and right the terrible wrongs he has seen." "--""Chicago"" Tribune" "Smoke-Filled Rooms" "Nelscott brings it all back, and it's hair-raising." "--The ""Washington"" Post" "Superb . . . This series has all the passion and precision of Walter Mosley's early Easy Rawlins novels, but it is not derivative. Smokey just may be a more compelling character than the celebrated Easy." "--Booklist "(starred review) "A Dangerous Road" "Nelscott has an absorbing story to tell, and she does it justice." "--The ""Philadelphia"" Inquirer"Nelscott, Kris is the author of 'Days of Rage ' with ISBN 9780312325299 and ISBN 0312325290.
