|summary=A superb thriller that has all the best of the hard-boiled style made famous by Raymond Chandler. The style, the setting and the plot all come together perfectly.

I've been a fan of Hard Case Crime almost since their inception in 2005. It helped that one of their early books was a novella from one of my favourite authors, namely Stephen King's ''The Colorado Kid'', but I also love the hard-boiled style of thriller they specialise in. After just 8 years in existence, Max Allan Collins' ''Seduction of the Innocent'' already marks their 110th release and with stories like this, it's no wonder they're thriving.
