"Adrenaline confirms what I've been saying for
several years, that Bill Eidson is an important voice in crime fiction,
with a slant and energy all his own. Adrenaline is just what the
title implies, a dead heat rush of suspenseful twists that build
to a stunning climax. An original and powerful book."" "Eidson, who also wrote the equally compelling The Guardian,
has created a wonderfully entertaining thriller populated with genuinely
likable and thoroughly despicable characters. You get heros to love,
villains to hate, and enough suspense to nibble off the nails of
three fingers." "The opening scene of Mann challenging a bicycle messenger
to a no-brakes downhill race is as satisfying as any Bond movie
teaser..." [Geoff Mann is]...certainly one of the most salacious and interesting
characters I've read in a while...I couldn't wait to see what he'd
do next..." "Indulge yourelf. Adrenaline is a terrific read comfortably
encased in some really good writing....The plot moves forward with
sureness and speed, which, come to think of it, is exactly what
a thriller is supposed to do." "A careening adventure tale that virtually defines taut no-nonsense
plotting and lean muscular prose." "The opening chapter of Bill Eidson's novel, Adrenaline,
features a two-man bicycle race down a steep, traffic-filled hill
in San Francisco which is so vividly and excitingly described that
it gets the reader's own adrenaline pumping... Eidson is closest
in style to Elmore Leonard's novels, filled with funky dialogue,
fascinating secondary characters...the pace, action, and suspense
never slacken." |
