    ‘Mediocre crime fiction it ain’t. If the prose was any more hard-boiled, demolition companies would be buying up copies of this book and using them as wrecking balls. I’m not kidding when I say this book should be huge. The question is, is the world ready for it?’ – Christopher Nosnibor

    Hey Allen,

    Would you believe I don't know who that is on the cover? My publihers submitted to me several cover ideas for my approval, and this was the one that was agreed upon. All I know about him is that he's a professional model.
