Review
Ed Gorman author of the Sam McCain novels and editor of "Mystery Scene" Eddie Muller's first novel is as rich and enjoyable and masterful as his books about film noir. "The Distance" puts me in mind of the Budd Schulberg boxing classic "The Harder They Fall." And that's the highest praise I can give.
