Praise for GOLDFINCHES: ""A man watches helplessly as his car is hijacked and driven off with his wife and daughter imprisoned inside. And, then; the nightmare accelerates into warp-speed unspeakable horror. Ryan Sayles has delivered yet another masterpiece in his newest novel, Goldfinches. This guy just keeps getting better and better! Take my advice and read this book with all the lights on..."" -Les Edgerton, author of The Rapist, The Bitch, and The Genuine Imitation Plastic Kidnapping ""No one does fractured domestic noir like Ryan Sayles. And Goldfinches finds him mining that dysfunction harder and fiercer than ever. Shattering domestic bliss with pulse-pounding, pedal-to-the-metal action. Think Liam Neeson and his special set of skills-only jacked up on meth with stronger moonshine and more vicious complications."" -Joe Clifford, author Lamentation and Junkie Love ""Take the emotional grittiness of Breakdown, turn the violence dial to eleven, throw in a healthy dose of desperation multiplied by having kids involved, and you're on your way to something akin to Ryan Sayles' Goldfinches. This is a brutal, tense, fast-paced ride full of the relent- less brutality and knack for action that have made Sayles a household name for fans of great crime fiction, and this vicious ride may just be his best one yet."" -Gabino Inglesias, author of Zero Saints and Hungry Darkness ""Ryan Sayles writes like he's got an angel on one shoulder and a fallen angel on the other. Here's hoping Ryan keeps working it out on the page...and doesn't make much progress."" -Jedidiah Ayres, author of Fierce Bitches and Peckerwood"
