Taut, gripping, and hauntingly dark. This is Charlie Newton at his best.
—Robert Dugoni, bestselling author of the Tracy Crosswhite series

Charlie Newton is one of my favorite writers, and he keeps getting better, which is scary. Canaryville sizzles. It burns with the kind of passion that makes Chicago beautiful and brutal.
—Jonathan Eig, New York Times bestselling author

Charlie Newton’s crime fiction thrillers are like ticking narrative time bombs, exploding with existential brutality and blood-soaked enlightenment when readers least expect it. Canaryville is Newton at his best—unapologetically audacious and always seconds away from a jaw-dropping, skull-crushing detonation.
—Paul Goat Allen
