Reviews

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
