Reviews For Jack Trolley
Trolley has a knack for writing taut thrillers. He brings the action right down to the last, breathless second, and he does it with considerable skill, humor and style.
Trolley is like a noir voice out of the past, fast talking, sardonic, generating a great deal of suspense.
