Now Sin City is about to find out what the word “action” really means.

Awards/获奖情况：“海伍德值得与雷蒙德•钱德勒、罗斯•麦克唐纳德和沃尔特•莫斯利比较……对于一直属于美国犯罪小说高层的作家来说，这本书到来的太迟了。”–书目

“海伍德巧妙地将主要情节和次要情节串连，偶尔会用生动和流血将一个人物击毁成另一个。”–出版者周刊

“海伍德很敏锐地捕捉到一个时刻，一个地方，一个在艰难的境况下讨人喜欢的主角…海伍德特别擅长把社交评论插进他精心策划的故事中。他对加利福尼亚南部的描述，有时完全能和雷蒙德-钱德勒媲美。”——洛杉矶时报

A three-time Shamus Award winner and an Anthony Award winner.

“Haywood deserves comparison with Raymond Chandler, Ross Macdonald and Walter Mosley.... It has been too long between books for a writer who has always belonged in the upper echelon of American crime fiction.” –Booklist

“Haywood adroitly threads plots and subplots together, occasionally smashing character into one another with much brio and bloodshed.” –Publishers Weekly

“Haywood captures so well and perceptively a time, a place, and a likable protagonist in tough circumstances... Haywood is particularly adept at sliding social commentary into his carefully plotted tales. And his descriptions of Southern California are sometimes worthy of Raymond Chandler.” –Los Angeles Times

Gar Anthony Harwood is the author of Man Eater and Firecracker, two brutally funny thrillers set in Hollywood. Man Eater earned Haywood starred reviews from both Kirkus and Publishers Weekly and well-deserved comparisons to Elmore Leonard for his fast-paced thrills and dark humor. He followed that stunning success with Firecracker, an explosive story of sports, sex, and outrageous schemes that also received rave reviews. Haywood is also the author six mysteries featuring African-American private investigator Aaron Gunner. The first novel in that series, Fear of The Dark, won the Shamus award for Best First Novel of 1989, and his Gunner short story “And Pray Nobody Sees You” won both the Shamus and Anthony awards for Best Short Story of 1995. His latest Gunner short story, “The Lamb Was Sure to Go,” snagged him his third Shamus award in 2011. His other novels include two books featuring Joe & Dottie Loudermilk, retiree crime-solvers traveling in their Airstream camper. In addition to his novels and short stories, Haywood has written episodes of several TV crime shows, including New York Undercover and The District, and is a former president of the Mystery Writers of America’s Southern California chapter.
