“Just as I thought there wasn't an original take left on the detective novel, along comes Stephen Jay Schwartz and Beat.”-- Michael Connelly, New York Times bestselling author of the Harry Bosch novels
“Stephen Jay Schwartz writes with a paintbrush and expertly guides us through the gates of hell into a world where sex and violence merge into a toxic yet highly addictive alternative reality. Hayden Glass is a character we’ve not seen before, with fiendish impulses and a desperate desire to overcome his past. This is one of the most darkly sexual books I’ve ever read and I devoured it in one suspenseful sitting.”--Katie Arnoldi, Los Angeles Times bestselling author of Point Dume
