“Seized me by mind and throat and never let go. I loved it â¦ [should] sell a million copies.”

âDavid Nevin, author of the
New York Times
bestseller
Dream West,
on
City of Widows

“First-rate â¦
City of Widows
is a class western from its opening scene â¦ Readers will enjoy both Estleman's story and the witty way he tells it.”

âAmarillo Globe Times

“Loren D. Estleman is a rare talent. Funny, graceful, unsentimental. Every word is entertaining and to the point. Skip any line while reading
City of Widows
and you miss a delicious turn of phrase or a trenchant observation of humanity laid bare by a well-honed wit.”

âLucia St. Claire Robson, Spur Award-winning
author of
Ride the Wind

“I was going to see how
City of Widows
opens and read 55 pages. It's a honey.”

âElmore Leonard

“Master storyteller Estleman weaves complex plot and populates it with three-dimensional characters whose actions are always slightly unexpected.”
