“James D.F. Hannah delivers another dose of heart, humor, and haymakers to the Henry Malone series with BECAUSE THE NIGHT, leaving us clawing at the pages, and proving why he’s one of the best writers working today.”

Eryk Pruitt, author of SOMETHING BAD WRONG

“BEHIND THE WALL OF SLEEP is a gritty thrill ride down the dirt roads and back alleys of West Virginia. James D. F. Hannah proves again that he is a master of backwoods noir.”

Matt Coyle, Anthony- and Shamus-winning author

“James D.F. Hannah is the real deal. He shows with SHE TALKS TO ANGELS he has no trouble holding his own against Robert B. Parker and Lawrence Block.”

Dave Zeltserman, author of SMALL CRIMES and PARIAH

“Private eye Henry Malone is a worthy descendant of both Robert B. Parker’s Spenser and Elmore Leonard’s Raylan Givens, and he carries on the family tradition in style in BECAUSE THE NIGHT. James D.F. Hannah delivers a backwoods barroom brawl of a novel that will leave you bloodied and ready for more.”

Scott Von Doviak, author of LOWDOWN ROAD and CHARLESGATE CONFIDENTIAL

“James D.F. Hannah has created a memorable, resilient hero in Henry Malone...and FRIEND OF THE DEVIL is a wonderful showcase for Hannah’s stellar writing. This is a terrific outing for one of crime fiction’s rising stars.”

E.A. Aymar, author of NO HOME FOR KILLERS and THE UNREPENTANT

“Shamus winner James D.F. Hannah expertly delivers a mystery with more switchback twists than a mountain road, peppered with characters readers will enjoy taking this wild ride with. I dare you to try to put this book down.”
