The Dead Never Forget: A Bragg Thriller

This is the action-packed novel that launched Jack Lynch€s Edgar Award and two-time Shamus Award-nominated Bragg series€¦vaulting him into the pantheon of detective fiction masters alongside Raymond Chandler, Sue Grafton, Dashiell Hammett, Robert B. Parker and Ross MacDonald.

€œTough, taut and terse€¦ literate without being lofty, not unlike the work of Hammett himself.€ The Thrilling Detective

Korean War vet and ex-reporter Peter Bragg is hired by Armando Barker, a retired mobster, to find out who is targeting him and his eleven-year-old daughter with death threats. But after a gruesome killing of someone close to Barker, the threats become a bloody promise. Barker€s violent past in Sand Valley, a bleak, California desert town, has come back to haunt him with a vengeance. So that€s where Bragg goes, walking right into the vicious, bloody war that€s raging between the town€s factions€¦and becoming everyone€s target.

€œFirst-rate, well-plotted. Bragg is a restrained and believable hero. The action scenes are excellent. The gangland gun battle that rages across Sand Valley is a superb.€ 101 Knights: A Survey of American Detective Fiction

€œBragg is authentic, gripping, gritty.€ San Francisco Examiner
