The Marshall Connors Series…

“Allen Schatz has proven a welcome newcomer to an overcrowded thriller market sadly diluted with average ho-hum fare...”

“Complicated plots with well-drawn characters... most satisfying...”

“They read like a crime noir, but it's really a stylized murder mystery... Simple and fun. Good beach read for crime novel fans.”

“You want something 'different' with a murder mystery... this is it!”

“If you're a baseball fan you'll appreciate the realism Schatz injects into [his] novels. If you're not a baseball fan, that's OK too as you'll enjoy Schatz' stiletto-sharp writing style.”

“Highly recommended for all suspense, mystery, and most especially, baseball fans. A no-brainer for the price of a venti latte…”
