Praise for August Snow A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Best Book of the Year A 2018 Michigan Notable Book " August Snow is one of my favorite books that I've read recently, and I'm not just saying that . . . This book is so good, I actually put it down, and I briefly entertained the notion of moving back to Detroit." --Nancy Pearl, NPR's Morning Edition "[A] witty, mayhem-packed first novel . . . Snow's own voice has echoes of Raymond Chandler's. Be assured that when the showdown comes, Snow--an action-hero with the heart of a mensch--and his crew prove up to that task." --The Wall Street Journal "Stephen Mack Jones's rock-solid debut, August Snow , is powered by the outgoing personality of the title hero and his deep affections for his hometown of Detroit. [Jones] proves himself a natural entertainer." -- Chicago Tribune "Jones, a Detroit-area poet and playwright brings the city, its environs, and its eateries to vital life in a mystery coiled around the contemporary crime du jour of cyber-finance meddling. His is that rare tale that, despite its thriller-level violence, maintains a fiercely warm heart at its core--and ends far too quickly." --The Boston Globe "[A] polished, gripping debut. Poet Stephen Mack Jones' novel bristles with energy, compassion, humor and a page-turning plot." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune, Praise for Lives Laid Away "Operatically violent and hilariously funny, with dialogue to die for. I'll read whatever Stephen Mack Jones writes." --Timothy Hallinan Praise for August Snow Winner of the 2017 Hammett Prize A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Best Book of the Year A 2018 Michigan Notable Book " August Snow is one of my favorite books that I've read recently, and I'm not just saying that . . .

Poet Stephen Mack Jones' novel bristles with energy, compassion, humor and a page-turning plot." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune, Praise for Lives Laid Away "Superior . . . August Snow is an uncompromising crusader with a sense of humor reminiscent of Robert Parker's Spenser. He merits a long literary life." --Publishers Weekly , Starred Review "Operatically violent and hilariously funny, with dialogue to die for. I'll read whatever Stephen Mack Jones writes." --Timothy Hallinan Praise for August Snow Winner of the Hammett Prize for Crime Fiction A 2018 Michigan Notable Book A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Best Book of 2017 Strand Magazine Critics Awards Best First Novel Nominee Finalist for the 2018 Shamus Award Finalist for the 2018 Nero Award " August Snow is one of my favorite books that I've read recently, and I'm not just saying that . . .
