✦ Synopsis


"The telling is masterful...Sit back and enjoy Watson's latest. It's better than bourbon on the rocks."
--Kirkus Reviews , Starred review
"Hypnotically beautiful novel...Paranoia has been defined as 'seeing too much pattern.' Author Watson can make us sweaty victims of that madness, partaking of it, suffering from it, and loving every minute."
--Booklist , Starred review
"Watson's magic is in pacing and taut prose...Suitcase City is an absorbing thriller, a vivid adventure in a bright, humid, perilous underworld...[A] tense, bloody thriller with a strong sense of place and a soft heart."
--Shelf Awareness , Starred review
"[A] noir gem...a deeply contemplative and darkly poetic prose style complements the well-crafted plot."
--Publishers Weekly
"A solid revenge tale...There is plenty of action to be had in this suspense tale, but it is the examination of the characters'...
