Fantastic new review for CROOKS from @ala-booklist.bsky.social and @bookman.bsky.social
Berney is a wonderful writer...he’s such a talented storyteller that he makes this epic story feel effortless. A remarkable, memorable novel from a master of crime fiction.

Wow! From the amazing @gregghurwitzbooks.bsky.social CROOKS is "a masterpiece"
A masterpiece.
How can I describe CROOKS? It's like if Elmore Leonard wrote the Godfather or George V. Higgins penned The Sound and the Fury -- but with a deep human poignancy that is @louberney.bsky.social's alone.
One of the finest books I've read in years.
Out in September. Preorder now.
