CRITICAL PRAISE:

"Action-packed...[a] page-turner.""

—USA Today

"McKinzie delivers a story pulsing with intrigue and character that is as poetic as it is harrowing. This one's a true winner.""

—Michael Connelly

"Mesmerizing and compelling...difficult to put down.""

—Denver Post

"An adrenaline-pumping, heart-pounding thrill ride with a terrifying climax....McKinzie writes with the voice of a true adventurer.""

—Tess Gerritsen

"The rock climbing scenes...are gripping and suspenseful...But the real strength of this book is the complexity of the characters, starting with Antonio....This book is a worthwhile addition to a series that is deservedly becoming more popular."

—The Daily Camera on TRIAL BY FIRE AND ICE, the third Antonio Burns novel.

"Guaranteed to set readers' hearts racing and establish McKinzie as a rising voice in the genre."

—Publisher's Weekly

"Clinton McKinzie is a talent to watch."

—Robert K. Tanenbaum

"McKinzie knows his wild Wyoming, and also how to keep things moving briskly…. [THE EDGE OF JUSTICE] gets good marks for ringing a change or two on the chase thriller, and we're now promised a prequel, starring the same gutsy hero.""

—Publishers Weekly

"One of the strongest debuts of the year.""

—Chicago Tribune on THE EDGE OF JUSTICE, the first Antonio Burns novel
