Reviews For The Dead Never Forget
Tough, taut and terse… literate without being lofty, not unlike the work of Hammett himself
I love that Brash Books has brought the Bragg books back into print. This is straight up some of the best California hard boiled writing you will ever read. Lynch is a natural story teller and has such a wonderful style it is impossible to put the book down. If you like reading noir-ish books or ar a fan of hardboiled detectives grab this book now.
It also has one of the best covers I've seen in a LONG time. An all around perfect book.
First-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
Bragg is authentic, gripping, gritty
Bragg is a San Francisco private investigator who combines angst and wit in the perfect proportion... a scarred-but-tender, manly-but-sensitive paladin of the dispossessed.
