β¦ Synopsis
βLike the best noir, Empty Mile is rife with desire, desperation, and despair. Matthew Stokoeβs people have dubious motives, ugly secrets, crushing guilt, and suffer dire consequences. But theyβre redeemed by the rarest gold in contemporary crime fiction--an authorβs genuine empathy."
--Eddie Muller, author of Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir
βNo point in turning up the βbrightnessβ on your set. Empty Mile is a failed-brakes careen of guilt and payback, a Lynchian labyrinth of obsession, secrets, and revenge in small-town America.β
--Janet Fitch, author of Paint It Black
βThe tension builds unbearably in this magnificent βSierras Noirβ novel. Stokoe writes damaged people worthy of James M. Cain and Jim Thompson. His star-crossed lovers and broken families will steal your heart, even as Stokoe drives the knife home. I couldnβt stop reading.β
Denise Hamilton, author of the best-selling Eve Diamond series
βMatthew Stokoeβs Empty Mile exemplifies everything that makes good noir so gut-strumming. Surprising, edgy, dangerous, nihilistic, and totally bad-ass.β
--Tom Piccirilli, author of Shadow Season
