The Eye that Never Sleeps is a more than welcome throwback to the classic detective novels of James Cain, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and Mickey Spillane. The story is laid out in well-crafted prose that pulls the reader along with varying levels of intrigue with each turn of the page. The vivid descriptions guide the reader’s senses and mind’s eye through the underbelly, streets and long gone and some still existing locales of old New York City. It is always a delight to have a book that both fills one’s mind with the thoughts and actions of the master detective, Mr. Mimick, while giving you a tour through a bygone era.
Sublime Line: “A classically told detective novel that creates a web of intrigue, while giving the reader a tour of a bygone era of America through the filter of New York City.”
