Reviews
"An entertaining miscellany of short stories from the past 40 years." -- The Wall Street Journal "Estleman has always favored a vintage style of hard-boiled noir ... from westerns to a vampire tale ... featur[ing] his trademark Detroit setting and tough-guy humor, as well as his durable antihero, the professional hit man Peter Macklin, whose assignment is to take out six targets in 10 days. This being Detroit, automotive references abound, most inventively in the image of a mobster's hair swept back on both sides 'like the fenders of a 1949 Mercury.'" -- The New York Times "Virtually all of the stories have a neat, unforeseen twist; Estleman is a master craftsman of the genre and is a creative, compelling writer." -- Lansing State Journal "All that delicious prose, boiled down to bite-sized pieces. And it's just the collection of confections I expected: an imagined soliloquoy from John Dillinger, tales of a small-town bookshop owner/sleuth, a blood feud, a witness who isn't protected after all, and much more." -- News Observer "Estleman...is a master of short fiction. This collection [is] immensely enjoyable.... Estleman's long-form fiction is very popular...those fans will get a serious kick out of this collection." -- Booklist "Loren D. Estleman is...in league with Anthony Trollope and Joyce Carol Oates.... The words don't just pour out of Estleman's typewriters...no, they roar...remarkable for their consistently high quality. Desperate Detroit ...will solidify Estleman's stature with his hardcore fans, while serving as an ideal introduction for uninitiated readers. The book is a sumptuous smorgasbord." --The Millions "While the stories vary in subject matter and setting, the one common thread running through most all of them is the ironic twist ending. Like the best suspense writers, Estleman knows how to lead the reader down the garden path. Like a con man running a three card monte scam, he makes sure that the ace is never where you think it's going to be. Indeed the one thing certain: it will never be where you think it is." --Blog Critics

From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.All the President's Men - 9780671894412, paperback, Bob Woodward (N° 396668604901)
- k***o (17)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoI ordered three items from this seller, and one was damaged in transit (the seller is not at fault for this). However the seller very quickly righted everything, communicating with me the entire time. The other two items were in perfect condition, arrived on time, and were exactly as described. They were very quick to fix what was wrong, and were very polite about the entire thing. I will be buying from them again in the future.The Liar - hardcover, Nora Roberts, 0399170863 (N° 284903186562)
- r***r (7529)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoThe seller Orion Tech LLC is one of my occasional shopping sites. This purchase I had a problem, the only one so far. The books were packed well, shipped quickly and just as described. But this was not the book I ordered. I sent two photos of the book received and the ISBN code and I received a prompt refund. I bought two books the third book was free! I am still delighted being an Orion Tech Books customer and will be shopping at Orion Tech Books in the future. Thank you.
