Reviews

"Burnett's experimental jazz novel, It's Always Four O'Clock ... is prime Burnett, a character study of [a] fragile but brilliant pianist." -Robin H. Smiley, Firsts "One of the most neglected American writers. There are moments of reality in his books that are quite overpowering. More than once they've had me breaking into sweat." -John Huston, director & actor "His novels are not mysteries, but crime novels, powerful, accurate cynical explorations of criminals in their own environment: at their best they are important additions to the honor roll of hard-boiled fiction." -George Grella, 20th Century Crime & Mystery Writers
