As they work together to carry out their hunger for justice, each is forced to confront and overcome yet another enemy: her own fears and weaknesses.

From the Back Cover:

Praise for Bill Pronzini

"There is a sharp sense of place in this moody crime novel, which evokes even the inner landscape of the hero's mind. For all the spareness of [Blue Lonesome's] style, this is a rich study of alienated people and the big open spaces where they live."-- The New York Times Book Review

"[A Wasteland of Strangers] is one of the best-told mysteries of the year."-- San Jose Mercury News

"[Nothing But the Night is] a seamless tour de force .... Pronzini is an author no one should miss."-- The Plain Dealer (Cleveland)
