Review:

"The hard-edged, impassive Nina is a great creation."

-- P. G. Koch, "Houston Chronicle"

"The City of Angels has provided a shady setting for Raymond Chandler, Jim Thompson, James Ellroy, and now Robert Eversz, whose noirish series featuring papparazza Nina Zero is one of the most entertaining ever...As in the best noir, the pacing is fast, the writing cool and dialogue whip-smart."

-- Joanne Sasvari, "Calgary Herald"

"Tough, troubled Nina is endearing despite herself. There are echoes of Raymond Chandler and Quentin Tarantino in Eversz's offbeat plotting and Technicolor prose."

-- Patrick Anderson, "The Washington Post"

"Nina's addictive escapades grow in depth and complexity, with mystery on the side."

--"Kirkus Reviews"

"Robert Eversz is one of the wisest and most compassionate mystery writers in the trade."

-- Dick Adler, "Chicago Tribune"

"Nina Zero is cooler than ever, in fact, cooler than any of us will ever be."

-- "BookPage"

"Eversz hits the jackpot...This compelling, nerve-wracking, draining novel will leave readers hungry for the next in the series."

--"Publisher's Weekly" (starred review)

"Hard-boiled but hip...I found myself so thoroughly taken in by the way Nina's punk aggression and audacity is at times tempered by vulnerability and free-floating maternal instincts that I literally stopped reading a couple of times and checked the book cover to make sure the author's first name was Robert, not Roberta."

-- Harper Barnes, "St. Louis Post-Dispatch"
