Chasing Charlie Chan
Abramo's smart prose and dialogue with a dose of RaymondChandler and a helping of James Ellroy -The Denver ReviewDirty cops, buried secrets, mob hits and a stack of bodies--these are a few of my favorite things--and J.L. Abramo delivers them all in his new book CHASING CHARLIE CHAN. This is a fresh and modern take on the classic dead partner tale of revenge, and the plot has plenty of forward momentum. It turns out to be a complicated tale, and a satisfying read. For those familiar with Abramo's work, this is the prequel to the Jake Diamond PI series. For those not familiar with the series--never fear. Once you read CHASING CHARLIE CHAN, you'll be convinced to pick up the rest.--Crimespree Magazine
