Reviews
"An Orlando, Florida, thriller that reads like a high-speed theme park ride. Cavanagh's writing is tough and lean, with dark humor so sharp it'll make you bleed." ---Brian Freeman, author of Stripped and Immoral "Carl Hiaasen fans will be thrilled to know there's a new kid on the block. If you liked Basket Case, you'll flip over Thomas B. Cavanagh's sardonically and outrageously funny lead character, who will rope you inonpage one and take you on awild ride. Truly, the best book I've read in a long time. Cavanagh has a new and devoted fan in me." ---Charlotte Hughes, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Full Tilt and Full House " Head Games is a sharp and convincing new take on the private-eye novel, underscored with the sobering tang of mortality." ---Wallace Stroby, author of The Heartbreak Lounge and The Barbed-Wire Kiss "Thomas B. Cavanagh is a great new talent in crime fiction. His voice is tough and tender, sad and funny, a writer equally adept at creating fast-paced action, believable dialogue, and a story with more twists than the latest dance routine of your favorite boy band. The make-believe city of Orlando deserves a crime writer with guts, imagination, and a sense of humor; Cavanagh has all three in spades." ---Lee Irby, author of 7,000 Clams and The Up and Up "Relentless pacing, local color, mystery, and action---and folks you will root for as they crash against evil. The action and the mystery will keep you reading, but the characters will make you want a whole other book. Please tell us this is a series, with more to come." ---Claire Matturro, author of Wildcat Wine " Head Games is a next generation hard-boiled detective novel with a Travis McGee--styled hero whose sidekick is a brain-tumor named Bob. Flat-out funny, smart, and refreshingly humane, this Florida thriller is set in the whacked-out pre-fab world of Orlando, between Sea World and Disney, where money talks, boy bands rule, and asking too many questions could get a dying man killed. This is a nail-biter with a heart." ---N. M. Kelby, author of Whale Season, "An Orlando, Florida, thriller that reads like a high-speed theme park ride.
