the punishing game reviews
"Nathan Gottlieb has done it again, this time unleashing Frank Boff on Gotham and allowing him to turn over three boroughs of New York City and expose every hideous worm beneath. And as a bonus, we meet The Boffer's mom - a 72-year-old numbers runner who packs a Remington 20-gauge. Crime fiction devotees should take note: The Boff-Cullen Series, just two volumes old, is already at full boil." (Dave D'Alessandro, Newark Star-Ledger)
"Frank Boff, the ex-DEA legend turned private investigator is back in action! When Boff's friend, boxer Danny Cullen, is almost gunned down in a drive-by shooting in Brooklyn, the investigator travels from Vegas to New York, determined to find out who was gunning for him.
In his funny and breezy writing style, Gottlieb follows Boff and Cullen along the mean Brooklyn streets and the hip night clubs of NYC to reach a startling and exciting conclusion. I dare you to find a writer that gives you a detective as funny and original as Frank Boff." (Jochem Vandersteen, author of the Noah Milano mystery series and the website, Sons of Spade)
