"Booth City is as frightening as the Sin City portrayed in Frank Miller's graphic novels . The conclusion is one of the most harrowing in recent memory.""--Booklist" "Sidor proved in his well-received first novel, "Skin""""River", that he knows a thing or two about deviant human behavior. Now he delivers an equally laudable mystery...that delves even deeper into the darker reaches of the criminal mind...Sidor's subjects may be grisly, but his writing style is often poetic."--"Publishers Weekly" "Stomach-churning suspense at its best." --"Lansing""State"" Journal"" ""Sidor conjures up a grim realm of sleazy hotels, bars, and squad rooms . It's a hard-boiled world, presented in a brisk, brutal shorthand as tough as its subject." --"Providence"" Journal-Bulletin"" ""Sidor is a prince of darkness, steeped in the noir tradition and not giving an inch. That said, he is also bountifully talented." --"Kirkus Reviews""

Praise for Skin River:
"Hard-nosed, soft-hearted Buddy is irresistible, and Sidor supports him with bang-bang storytelling and a sharply drawn cast. Take note, and you may see a star in the making."--Kirkus Reviews

"You can't get creepier than this. Exquisitely plotted."--Booklist

"With an eye for gritty detail and a predilection for metaphor, Sidor paints a morbid picture of deviance and death in the small Wisconsin town of Gunnar in his fast-paced crime debut. The salty prose and clever narration will keep readers hooked."--Publishers Weekly

"Skin River is an incredible debut--unforgettable, spellbinding, and darkly suspenseful. Steven Sidor must have sold his soul to the devil to write this well."--Steve Hamilton, author of Ice Run

"A stinger of a first novel--dark, harrowing, and unpredictable as a run of dangerous river. Steven Sidor plunges you into chilling waters on page one and barely lets you up for air."--Gregg Hurwitz, author of The Kill Clause

"Skin River is a sharp, breathless upcountry thriller. Steven Sidor keeps the pacing piano-wire taut and selects his words with a vivisectionist's diabolical care."--Stewart O'Nan, author of The Night Country
