David Putnam's The Heartless is terrific--a smart, well-written, relentless account of a battle against evil, fought by a protagonist who has a real man's flaws, but also shows us the kind of heroism that's real. --Thomas Perry, New York Times best-selling author This is a police procedural that dazzles with authenticity, sharply-drawn characters, crackling dialogue, and insider details that only a real cop could bring to the page. Putnam can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Joseph Wambaugh and Michael Connelly. --Lee Goldberg, New York Times best-selling author Terrific--a smart, well-written, relentless account of a battle against evil, fought by a protagonist who has a real man's flaws, but also shows us the kind of heroism that's real. --Thomas Perry, New York Times best-selling author Reading a novel by David Putnam is almost as good as riding shotgun in a patrol car. He writes what he knows and what he knows is that justice on the mean streets isn't always black and white. Gritty and dark, The Reckless is a realistic and highly entertaining police procedural. --Robin Burcell, New York Times best-selling author Putnam puts his years of law enforcement experience to good use in The Squandered, a shocking and intense tale of brotherly love and redemption realized in the midst of moral decay. It's a raw and gritty story I couldn't put down. --C. J. Box, New York Times best-selling author David Putnam provides an insider's knowledge of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. His characters and settings are rich and authentic, and his dialogue is spot on accurate. --Robert Dugoni, New York Times best-selling author David Putnam knows the mean streets and the characters who inhabit them better than anyone writing crime fiction. In The Heartless, Putnam is at the top of his game. Fans of Bruno Johnson will rejoice at this latest offering. --Alan Russell, New York Times best-selling author Dark, disturbing, and all too believable, this is the tale of one man's quest for atonement in a world where innocence is a liability. --T. Jefferson Parker, New York Times best-selling author The Heartless will conquer the hardest of hearts. Gritty cop Bruno Johnson tracks down a sociopath while struggling with his teenaged daughter's growing pains. Seamless prose, realistic characters, and you-are-there authenticity. Unique, entertaining--a total keeper. --K. J. Howe, international best-selling author and winner of ITW's Thriller Award Praise for the Bruno Johnson Crime Series I really loved The Disposables. It's raw, powerful, and eloquent. It's a gritty street poem recited by a voice unalterably committed to redemption and doing the right thing in a wrong world. I'll be first in line for the next one from David Putnam. --Michael Connelly, New York Times best-selling author
