"Sleep With the Devil is a great example of top-notch pulp fiction. It is the story of a small-time conman and loan shark enforcer who thinks he has the system beat and inexorably feels the walls closing in on him...Murder, betrayal, deceit, it's all here."--Dave Wilde, Amazon.com"There is not the overbuilding sense of catastrophe of Woolrich, but the quieter despair of failure, the misery of loneliness and rejection ... Keene gives a nudge to the little guy. And comes up with an ending that might catch you with your pants down."--Steve Lewis, Mystery*File"The story of a murderer on the lam who seeks concealment in a curious sexual alliance is well constructed and sharply twisted in the James M. Cain manner." -Anthony Boucher, New York Times
