Críticas:

Phenomenal praise for LAST FERRY HOME "LAST FERRY HOME is standout work...satisfying twists and reveals and sharply drawn characters...a surfeit of details that fans of the genre will savor." -San Francisco Chronicle "A haunting tale of loss...San Francisco native Harrington uses his trademark narrative jumps to heighten the suspense in this long-awaited return to his dark hometown turf." -Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "A powerful, well-wrought psychological thriller." -Booklist (Starred Review) "Strong, hard-edged stuff by a writer in complete control of the narrative. Respected noir veteran Harrington returns with a tough and thoughtful novel about grief and its consequences." -Kirkus Reviews "Delivers quite a punch. The alternating time lines keep readers on their toes and do a stellar job of creating a sense of impending doom. The author also fleshes out several minor characters and story lines with depth and color that add greatly to this noir tale." -Library Journal Praise for the novels of Kent Harrington "Dark Ride is a gripping tale that takes you into the dark and violent heart of obsession. It reads like Jim Thompson interpreted by Quentin Tarentino. This one puts a chilling finger down your spine." --Michael Connelly "It succeeds as a stunningly effective hybrid: part hothouse melodrama thick with lust and. lies and deception and part nice-against-time espionage thriller. It's like a stripped - down Tom Clancy novel with Tennessee Williams contributing the backstories." --San Francisco Chronicle on The Good Physician "An ambitious and entertaining book with elements of both political thriller and noir novel, making it a compelling hybrid of Ross Thomas and Jim Thompson." --Chicago Sun-Times on Red Jungle "Fabulous. Utterly. For some reason it took me forever to read, mostly because I didn't want this incredible story of adventure, doomed love and danger in Guatemala to end. It's been said, not just by me, that Harrington deserves to have a wider audience. So I'll say it again and add this: just read this book. Now." --Sarah Weinman on Red Jungle

Reseña del editor:

LAST FERRY HOME is comparable to Mystic River: a breakout novel that's both a riveting crime novel but with an unforgettable human drama at its core. Mention Kent Harrington to any mystery luminary and they'll gush. This is the time for us to break Harrington out. With Harrington's entire acclaimed backlist under the Polis umbrella, we'll be able to leverage his terrific prior works to help promote Harrington's entire oeuvre.
