Flawed, funny, heroic and developed fully from the first page until the final page.""I read A Real Piece of Work in three days. Didn't get much sleep...but it was well worth it.""Dakota Stevens and his indispensable sidekick/chess champion Svetlana Krush are a delightful modern take on the noir detective style.""The author's ability to paint a picture or scene with words is astounding. This book is ripe for adaptation to film.""Orcutt weaves a story that keeps you hanging on until the very end.""People in the reviews keep mentioning Spenser/Robert B. Parker, and they're right; but add a good streak of John Le Carré, turn the roaster up a notch, and maybe you're getting in the ballpark.""Reading Orcutt is like chasing a lit fuse into a dark tunnel.""I am now stalking this author on Amazon, anxiously awaiting the release of his next book in the series."
