Rezensionen

Anyone not acquainted with Charlie Huston s blistering, unputdownable novels will want to tie their sneakers nice and tight before starting The Shotgun Rule, or they are apt to be blasted clean out of them.
Stephen King

A dark but brilliant portrait of the way many teenage boys live in America . . . a coming-of-age novel, like Catcher in the Rye . . . [Charlie Huston is] one of the most original crime novelists at work today.
The Washington Post Book World

Equal parts Stephen King s Stand by Me and Irvine Welsh s Trainspotting, The Shotgun Rule is Huston in top form. . . . [An] unforgettable blend of humor and horrific violence.
Chicago Tribune

[A] compelling depiction of aimless teenage boys trying to rise to manhood. In Huston s hands, it s Greek tragedy on speed. . . . Huston s strengths are the brutal efficiency with which he sets a scene, and the breakneck pace he maintains throughout.
San Francisco Chronicle

Huston is a monstrously gifted purveyor of suspense. . . . This book raised blisters on my fingers and I still couldn t put it down.
Austin American-Statesman

One of the most memorable crime novels of this year.
Baltimore Sun
