Here's what reviewers are saying about Bill Craig's new Chandler mystery series: "A gritty urban fast-paced investigative mystery..." "Quick action, intertwining plots and lots of reason to turn the next page...." The investigation flies at a pace that kept me turning the pages ..." "Written in a "Pulp Fiction" style that flits from character to character, showing what's happening away from the eyes of the hero and then touches base back at his investigation before charging into the villains' action again.

The book is well crafted, keeping the investigator just a step behind the madness of the evil that pervades an Indiana city." "The 'Circle' is definitely made up of hell-on-wheels criminals. Bad guys you will love to hate, and dames in distress. A hero worth launching a series for. Five stars." "Very readable ..."
