ACCLAIM FOR ROBERT FERRIGNO AND SCAVENGER HUNT
“Ferrigno has a gift for creating confrontations of high impact, and his dialogue bites hard. Like other inheritors of the Ham-met–Chandler–Ross Macdonald private-eye tradition, he balances the tough doings with a strong sense of moral outrage and compassion.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review
“More than the usual share of macabre fun. . . . As amusing as it is morally repugnant.” —The New York Times
“Every few years another writer is described as the next Raymond Chandler, but Ferrigno may be the real thing. . . . His [thrillers] keep blowing up in your face.” —Entertainment Weekly
“[The] master of hard-knuckled noir thrillers pens another winner.” —Seattle Post-Intelligencer
“Robert Ferrigno is one of a handful of talented authors who keep L.A. in its place for the rest of us. . . . Ferrigno knows his way around the traditional L.A. crime story, and he’s deft at leading the reader through a less-than-sunny world where image is everything and murder is an unfortunate byproduct of getting ahead.” —Rocky Mountain News
“A gritty and realistic tour of Southern California, from drive-by shootings in Orange County to porn-shooting in the San Fernando Valley.” — San Jose Mercury News
“[A] dark, coked-up tale of Hollywood gone bad, an amusing ride with twists, turns, and stomach-lurching moments.” —Seattle Weekly
“Ferrigno drops you in the middle of the action so that the sweat plasters your hair to your scalp and you can’t catch your breath. ... A state-of-the-art whodunnit.” —Haddon Herald
“Ferrigno hits all the right notes. . . . The plot is a real work of art, an unpredictable roller-coaster ride. . . . Unique.” —East Bay Express
“With an Elmore Leonardesque knack for lean, mean prose and searing dialogue, Ferrigno looks at people on the edge and why they find themselves leaning over a precipice of life. Ferrigno knows how to keep the reader off kilter.” —Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
“Hard to put down. This is the second story Ferrigno has described through the eyes of Jimmy Gage. One can hope more will follow.” —The Roanoke Times
“[Scavenger Hunt] finds [the author] at the top of his game. Ferrigno’s plot is distinguished by a combination of caustic social commentary and black comedic irony.” —Book
“Fast-paced. . . . Populated with a seedy assortment of lowlifes and high-flyers; the plotting is intricate . . . and the tone darkly comical.” —BookPage
“Devastating—and entertaining. . . . A mystery of real complexity, involving all the baser motives. . . . A pleasure to read.” —Publishers Weekly
