What Winter has accomplished with The Twenty-Year Death will have not just the crime fiction world, but the literary world talking for years to come. To have captured so perfectly the style and voice of three giants and then set them in three separate but interconnected and absorbing stories is truly a work of genius. It is hard to imagine that he could possibly hope to achieve this kind of tour du force in his future works, but then again, its hard to believe that he could do it in the first place and right out of the gate.

I swear to god, he nailed all three 'voice' and the middle book, you'll swear Chandler came back and wrote it. I'm already culling the cynical quotes from it.
