Praise for Nighttown
"Exceedingly funny . . . this one's good for what ails you."
-Marilyn Stasio, New York Times
"If you enjoy the ironic wit and criminal adventures of Lawrence
Block's Bernie Rhodenbarr, then you'll want to read Timothy
Hallinan's Nighttown. Junior Bender is one of my favorite fictional
felons and Hallinan is a writer with the kind of heart and healthy
cynicism that I admire."
-Carole E. Barrowman, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
"Hallinan's top-notch prose and plotting are reminiscent of
Lawrence Block and Elmore Leonard."
-Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Nothing puts a smile on my face or chuckle in my heart like a new
Junior Bender book. Always fresh and ever insightful, Hallinan
delivers pleasure reading in its purest form."
-Tim Tigner, author of Pushing Brilliance
"Everybody's go-to burglar in LA, takes on another job that doesn't
smell right-it fairly reeks of talcum powder-and lives to regret it
early and often . . . Highly readable."
-Kirkus Reviews
"[Nighttown] packs an unexpected wallop, which resonates
long after the last (and highly satisfying) sentence is read."
-Bookreporter.com
"A not-to-miss mystery . . . Hallinan is easily one of the most
entertaining crime writers in the business today."
-New York Journal of Books
"Are you a fan of Donald Westlake's caper books, or the first
series from Bethany Maines with its side-splitting moments among
makeup experts who ride on the wild side? Here's what you've been
waiting for: exquisitely plotted action and twists, with
conversation and commentary so dryly funny that those pee-proof
panties advertised on TV should be sold with the book in some
regions."
-Kingdom Books
"Tightly plotted and fast-paced . . . Nighttown is the real
deal."
-Kittling Books
"This novel was extremely intriguing, suspenseful, and mysterious.
It is highly recommended reading."
-The Gumshoe Review
"Humor is a hallmark of the Junior Bender series, and this latest
title is no exception."
-Bookgasm

"Comparisons to Raymond Chandler and Donald Westlake are totally
deserved and should give you a clue as to whether you'll like this
book as much as I did."
-Raleigh News & Observer
"Hallinan deserves to win an Edgar for his ingeniously
plotted, often hilarious sixth Junior Bender novel."
-Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

-Booklist, Starred Review
