I've read every one of Max Austin (Steve Brewer's new pen name) novels. Duke City Split is categorically one of his best. It rates up there with Boost, Shaky Ground, and Dirty Pool. Duke City Split is a fast read, with plenty of quirky characters and intrigue--trademarks of Brewer books. I love the way Brewer injects a stream of characters into this storyline, leaving the reader hanging and wondering where the plot train will end. I started this book at 8:00 p.m. and wound up reading it all the way through. It was worth losing a night of sleep over. I highly recommend Duke City Split to anyone who loves a quality mystery. Once you read Duke City Split, you will be hooked on Brewer's books, and with 27 of them out there you'll be hooked for a long time.
