Readers’ and Critics’ Praise For Steve Gannon Novels
“Stunned! Moved me more than words can say.” ~ Daniel
“Exciting and emotionally gripping – highly recommended.” ~ Suncoast (Amazon Top 500 Reviewer)
“Brilliant, moving, penetrating gem of a novel. It is an unflinching, insightful look into the dynamics of the family of a tough abrasive police homicide detective. This book is hilarious at times, deeply poignant at others; it evokes the entire range of human emotion. At times I laughed out loud; at times I couldn’t stop the tears – it was that moving. I recommend it heartily to those interested in suspense thrillers, police procedurals, and character exploration. This book deserves an unquestioned five stars.” ~ Skye Hye

Don’t forget the Kleenex. You’ll need it.” ~ Bewyn Peterson

“Steve Gannon’s newest Detective Kane novel meets all the demands of a good thriller, then goes beyond. The narrative gleams with technical detail that highlights the author’s depth of knowledge, revealing the conflicts and complexities of police procedure with surgical precision and authenticity. As the novel built to its climax, I found I was so invested in the characters and the outcome that I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough, and consciously slowed down so as not to miss what I dreaded but couldn’t wait to discover.” ~ Jamber

This book and its characters will stay with me for a long time.” ~ Roger Lansing
