Wasted Years

Wasted Years Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"Harvey writes better crime novels than anyone in the world. His books transcend genre." (The Denver Post)

Review:

(The New York Times Book Review)

Review:

"The prose is pared down and tersely elliptical-Wasted Years wastes littlelanguage. But, as always with Harvey, less is bountifully more." (The Philadelphia Inquirer)
