The Cocaine Chronicles is a pure, jangled hit of urban, gritty, and
raw noir. Caution: These stories are addicting.
--Harlan Coben, award-winning author of Just One Look
While The Cocaine Chronicles is a hard, honest, uncompromising read
and might not be for the faint of heart, the stories it tells all
have to do with a drug that's been around for a while and is not
going anywhere. Also, some stories offer a bit of hope, which shine
through as invitations to never give up.-- "Austin Post"
