"Kostoff, author of the well-received The Long Fall (2003), returns to crime fiction with what a promising series debut starring a principled cop who is beginning to heal himself."
—Booklist

“Masterful writing, spot on dialogue and insight to the human condition more often associated with literary works than crime fiction, Lynn Kostoff’s Late Rain is one of those rare novels that transcend genre fiction; it is writing at its very best, brilliant from start to finish.”
—Charlie Stella author of Johnny Porno

"It reminds me a little of the work of Elmore Leonard, only it’s more tightly plotted. This is an excellent novel that makes me eager to read Kostoff’s earlier books."
—James Reasoner

"The plot is rich and thick and the subplots connect in ways I wasn’t expecting.  There are at least two subplots that are so beautifully understated, my jaw dropped when I finally caught on.  If I did. . .  I think I did. . ."
—Sarah Wesson

"I’ve only just come to read Kostoff this year as his 1991 debut A Choice of Nightmares was reprinted by New Pulp Press, but based on the strength of these two offerings, I’ve added his name to my watch-for list. Better late than never."
