The Rap Sheet names DEATH IN THE FACE a 2015 crime novel fave

The Rap Sheet has selected the new Hector Lassiter novel DEATH IN THE FACE as one of its 2015 favorite crime novels of the year.

Reviewer Stephen Miller writes in part:


"Lassiter hasn’t lost a step. Rubbing elbows not only with (Ian) Fleming, but also with actors Sean Connery and Robert Shaw, and Japanese author-poet Yukio Mishima, Lassiter dodges bullets and explosions, and the set piece here involving a pool of crocodiles is alone worth the price of admission. McDonald’s Lassiter stories represent a sorely needed throwback to ultra-hard-boiled adventure tales, and while the series is winding down (we can expect only one more novel and a collection of short stories, both due in 2016), the entire series hangs together as a multi-volume biography of the greatest fictional pulp writer ever created."
