Table of ContentsReviewsThis spin-off features the same vividly evoked Hamptons setting and the same crisp prose, brisk plotting, and sharp dialogue as Knopf's critically acclaimed Sam Acquillo series.... More engaging hard-boiled crime fiction from a rising star. <br>-- Booklist for Short Squeeze, the first novel in the Jackie Swaitkowski series<br><br> Knopf has a touch I like--cool, careful, reflective--and a great ear for the comic eccentricities of the human voice. <br>-- The New York Times Book Review <br><br> What makes the novel feel fresh is whip-smart, snappy dialogue and intriguing characters, particularly smart women who handily skirt cliche. <br>-- The Boston Globe for Head Wounds<br><br> A sly depiction of the east end of Long Island and the Hamptons as they really are, combined with strong plotting, solid characters and hard-boiled dialogue worthy of Elmore Leonard or John D.
