One PI. Ten crimes. Stylistically reminiscent of Quentin Tarantinos Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill. An exciting and original debut (The Hoopla Literary Society).A literary detective story ingeniously told in ten cases. John Dorn is a classic gumshoe. His woman has left him, he lives in his office, and he drinks too much. His one friend, a lawyer named Demetri, hands Dorn an infinite supply of hopeless cases and lost causes, to which Dorn, ever the champion of the underdog and the oppressed, is drawn to as a sledgehammer is to a kneecap. A superlative work of hardboiled literary detective fiction, The Midnight Promise wonderfully evokes the underbelly of contemporary Melbourne, its battlers, its hard men, its victims, and its illfated heroes.[A] powerful hardboiled debut . . . The cases get progressively more disturbing, both in terms of their subject matter, which include gruesome torture, and their impact on Dorn, a classic worldweary narrator.Publishers Weekly (starred review)Lovitt has a neat way with a yarn. . . . And just when you think he is going to stay close to a kind of downbeat realism, there is a slide into something a little thrillerish and actionpacked.The Sydney Morning Herald[An] artful, Down Under nod to the hardboiled private eyes of Chandler and Hammett.The Christian Science Monitor, 10 Excellent International ThrillersLovitt is surehanded in sketching characters, and he laces Dorns cases with sardonic humor and prodigious bits of human frailty. . . . Fans of international crime fiction will enjoy Dorn and his milieu.Booklist
