PRAISE FOR DELTA BLUES

"The blues are at home anywhere, but the epicenter is Clarksdale, Miss., the setting for at least a third of the 19 original stories in this virtuoso crime anthology."
Publishers Weekly

"Theme anthologies are common in the mystery genre, but here's one that distinguishes itself from the crowd."
Booklist

"Whether they are set in the past or the present, the stories in this collection tell of loss and suffering, hard times and bad luck, lust and love, joy and sorrow. Sometimes the writing is beautiful, and sometimes it is profane, just like the blues themselves. Short story collections are best savored in spurts, but these are as intoxicating as moonshine. Bet you can't read just one!"
—Hattiesburg American
