       Praise for Dave White and The Evil That Men Do

      “Dave White is everything you hope for in a crime novelist, delivering both white-knuckle suspense and nuanced characters, propulsive action and an emotional wallop. These are books that both invigorate the genre and are also, truly, built to last.” –Megan Abbott, Edgar Award-winning author of Dare Me

      “Stunning...fulfills the promise of his debut...the author does such a fine job of depicting the inner conflicts of his fallible but ultimately heroic protagonist.” —Publishers Weekly

      “Intricate plotting and nonstop action make this a nail-biting read from start to finish. White, winner of the Derringer Award for When One Man Dies, is a writer to watch.” —Library Journal

      “White makes good use of the urban and suburban geography, accurately depicting the terrain. But that’s not what makes his sophomore effort so readable and engaging. Rather, it’s White’s realistic depiction of family dynamics--readers will be struck by the sheer humanity on display in this novel, from Donne’s strained relationship with his sister and brother-in-law, to the tragedy of the PI’s mother’s valiant but futile struggle with Alzheimer’s disease, and finally, to the sacrifices that are sometimes required to keep one’s family intact and safe.” —Mystery Scene

      “Dave White’s second novel, The Evil That Men Do, absolutely confirms and fulfills the promise of his highly regarded debut Jackson Donne novel, When One Man Dies; so, simply stated, readers looking for top-notch hard-boiled noir fiction featuring an intriguing protagonist and complex characterizations need look no further than Dave White’s deftly plotted novels.” —Bookloons

      “White handles his characters with a balance of emotional tension and action that drives this novel from the critical incident to a conflagration that leaves the survivors stunned.” —CurledUp.com
