Bosstown Novel

"The Big Dig is underway and the urban renewal that's following in its wake threatens to reveal Boston's long-buried secrets, in Abramowitz's promising debut. Abramowitz brings Boston alive with rich descriptions and caffeine-fueled dialogue." --Publishers Weekly

"This book is a caffeine and poker fueled adrenaline rush that I could not put down until the last twisting, violent hand had played out."
--Sarah Silverman, stand-up comedian, actress, producer, and writer

"A worthy addition to the canon of Boston 'no-R' fiction, Bosstown is a wild ride."
--Chuck Hogan, Hammett Award-winning author of The Town

"Robert B. Parker meets Hunter S. Thompson... and the result is a jet-fueled crazy-good mystery that careens through Boston with a voice that won't quit--and winds up in a place no one could ever predict. Wildly unique, this brave new take on a traditional genre is captivating, hilarious, and darkly brilliant."
--Hank Phillippi Ryan, Agatha, Anthony and Mary Higgins Clark Award-winning author of Say No More.

"The plot moves as fast as the bike messenger at its center, weaving through a sordid cast of characters, down the roughest streets of Boston. Hard boiled and fun, in the tradition of Mickey Spillane and George V. Higgins."
--James Renner, author of True Crime Addict and The Man from Primrose Lane

"the book has a long, long memory for Boston rock clubs (some of them wiped out in fires of suspicious origin) and the bands of the city's punk era (extra points for name-checking the great all-female metal group Malachite, which, at its glorious best, was louder than God) as well as a rueful sense of what gentrification hath wrought and of Boston's seemingly intractable segregation." --Kirkus Reviews

"Abramowitz has penned a fast-paced thriller that will keep you guessing until the last page." --Westchester Magazine

"Adam Abramowitz's debut starts strong with Zesty's lively voice elevating the story...Abramowitz's view of Boston is spot-on and the dialogue sharp." --Mystery Scene

"The hyped-up bike messenger Zesty Myers drives the compulsive narrative of Adam Abramowitz's streetwise debut Boston crime novel." --Shelf Awareness

"Everything from the action-packed, caffeine-ridden main character to the amazing realm of Boston practically jumps off the pages. The author shows it all and gifts the reader with a truly wild ride." --Suspense Magazine

"If it's an updated twist on an old-fashioned whodunit that you're looking for, Bosstown delivers the goods with a "Bawstin" accent." --Jerusalem Post Review
