"Raw reality. A tough, taut writer. Saves a gut-punch for the climax." -- <i>The Washington Post</i> <p/>In the first book of Joe Gores's razor-sharp Daniel Kearny Associates series, a DKA investigator clings to life after a devastating car crash. The police are ready to write it off as a drunk driving incident, but the DKA team knows it was an attempted homicide. Now they have seventy-two hours to search the backstreets of San Francisco and find the truth about the "accident" from a stripper, an embezzler, an ex-con, and other unsavory characters. Gores, a former detective and three-time Edgar Award-winner, spins a gritty, fast-moving tale that mystery lovers can't resist and compares with the best of Hammett and Chandler. This new edition of <i>Dead Skip</i> features a bonus DKA short story, "File #2: Stakeout on Page Street." <p/>"A traditional American crime novel, out of <i>Black Mask</i>, Hammett, and Chandler. . . . The Continental Op could do no more. . . . [Gores] has come up with a winner." -- <i>The New York Times</i> <p/>"[Gores is] one of the very few authentic private eyes to enter the field of fiction since Dashiell Hammett." -- Anthony Boucher <p/>"The hard, compelling smack of raw truth." -- Ellery Queen, on the DKA File series
