Nelscott excels at setting a scene." --"The Seattle Times" on "War at Home" "A ruthlessly unsentimental look at the '60s that shows just how ugly and destructive racial assumptions were. Nelscott bears witness to black persecution the way Elie Wiesel bears witness to the Holocaust."--"Kirkus Reviews" on "War at Home" "Gripping...Crisp writing and sharp details keep the story moving." --"Publishers Weekly" on "War at Home" "Kris Nelscott can lay claim to the strongest series of detective novels now being written by an American author."--Charles Taylor, "salon.com" on "Stone Cribs" "Nelscott's hard-boiled style gives an added blast of energy to the captivating story...her characters are so nuanced and naturally complex."--"The Boston Globe" on "Stone Cribs" "[A] triumphant series. Gripping...Nelscott's books about Dalton have already been compared favorably to Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins series. The big difference is that Easy Rawlins has bought into the Los Angeles land-owning dream, while Smokey Dalton, a more militant avenging angel, mostly wants to stay alive and right the terrible wrongs he has seen."--"Chicago Tribune" on "Thin Walls" "Nelscott brings it all back, and it's hair-raising."--"The Washington Post "on "Smoke-Filled Rooms"Nelscott, Kris is the author of 'War at Home ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780312325282 and ISBN 0312325282.
