"Well-written . . . Written with verve . . . Strikingly visual with a very readable style."―Benjamin Boulden, Mystery Scene
"This brilliant second entry in the Boston Saga sizzles . . . This stunning narrative will enrapture fans of James Crumley and the astonishingly deep and dark Sara Gran."―Booklist (starred review)
"The authors deliver noir done well in dark-city descriptions and a cast of damaged characters."―Kirkus Reviews
PRAISE FOR SERPENTS IN THE COLD:
"In the best noir tradition, these co-authors shine a smoky light on lives often lived in the shadows."―Carol Iaciofano, WBUR
"Like Sara Gran's Dope, Serpents in the Cold lovingly revisits the hardboiled noir. From the dives of Dorchester to the Locke-Ober Café, John Garfield and Richard Widmark would feel right at home in O'Malley and Purdy's bygone, fallen Boston."―Stewart O'Nan, author of West of Sunset
