Reviews

"A satisfying, surreal tale wrapped in a taut, neo-noir package..." -Foreword Reviews 
"A strange and perplexing story worthy of Gogol's absurdist worlds... very entertaining and quirky." -Shelf Awareness for Readers 
"4.5 out of 5 stars!" -San Francisco Book Review 
"blends mystery, fantasy, and comedy. Tightly written with rich and complex subtext that makes reading it a sublime pleasure." -Chanticleer Book Reviews

Finkle is a brilliant writer whose book The Man With the Overcoat reminded me very much of a 21st century, New York City version of Kafka's The Castle.
