""Vinnie Hansen hits the ground running in her latest novel Crime Writer. Novelist, Zoey Kozinski, is thrown into the heart of a murder investigation when her ride-along with a police officer goes horribly wrong. This gritty novel is laced with clever moves that will keep the reader on their toes until the end.""  - Allen Eskens, recipient of the Barry Award, the Minnesota Book Award, Rosebud Award, and Silver Falchion Award, has also been a finalist for the Edgar and Anthony Awards. ""Crime Writer is a riveting thriller. The stakes keep getting higher, and the tension never falters. I highly recommend it."" - Terry Shames, author of the award-winning Samuel Craddock mystery series and the Jessie Madison thriller series.   ""Replete with heart-stopping moments, action, and unexpected realizations, Crime Writer is a winner."" - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review ""Vinnie Hansen's One Gun unspools a long, exquisite crescendo of foreboding and dread as clouds gather for a chilling, unexpected climax. Top-notch writing, sensitive touch, and heart-wrenching choices. Hansen is an author to watch."" - James W. Ziskin, Anthony, Barry, and Macavity award-winning author ""A riveting book that will tear at your heart as the impact from one gun ricochets through a close-knit community. Hansen's commanding voice weaves a compassionate tale that rings true and clear. You won't be able to look away."" - Edgar-nominated author Susan Bickford ""In ONE GUN, Vinnie Hansen weaves a spell with a modern-day tale of suspense, pulling the reader into a riveting quest to see if justice will be served. When a gun used in a burglary falls into the wrong hands, a chase begins to find the gun before it and its owner can cause more mayhem. But of course things never go as planned when a gun is involved. The beautifully described setting is the central coast of California, where hidden forces drive the have-nots to desperate measures, and the criminal justice system is often on trial along with the criminals. A bravura outing by the author of the popular Carol Sabala mysteries."" - G.M. Malliet, Agatha Award-winning author of the St. Just, Max Tudor, and Augusta Hawke mysteries  ""Vinnie Hansen's novel, One Gun, takes a simple concept--a couple disturbs a burglary in progress in their home--and crafts an unusual story where a gun becomes an inert, silent protagonist on a fateful journey that profoundly affects several lives. No one is the same once the gun's journey comes to a close. Although there are many characters in this novel, the voice of each character is distinct and finely drawn, rooting the reader in their role of the gun's journey. I highly recommend this book."" - Claire M. Johnson, author of Fog City. ""One gun. One moment in time. Vinnie Hansen's tense crime novel, ""One Gun,"" explores the consequences of a single act in thought-provoking and taut detail. Thoroughly researched and smartly written, the book twists its way toward a heart-wrenching conclusion that will leave a reader breathless."" - Peggy Townsend, author of Amazon Editors' mystery/suspense pick, The Beautiful and The Wild. ""The weapon casts a gripping Chekhov-ian shadow over Hansen's tense stand-alone thriller."" - Kirkus Reviews ""...a compelling cat-and-mouse game as perp, victims, and those caught in-between find themselves on different roads to obtaining or concealing evidence and the truth."" - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
