"Fresh, authentic, and downright gut-wrenching, FATHER'S DAY grabbed me by the collar and wouldn't let go. Gilman's voice is a powerful new addition to the crime fiction community."
Reed Farrel - Coleman, Shamus, Barry, and Anthony Award-winning author of Empty Ever After
"Gilman has a cop's eye for detail and a hardboiled humor that can't be faked. A palpable evil fills the pages of FATHER'S DAY that is both terrifying and relentless. Gilman writes sharply and knows where all the bodies are buried; his Philadelphia is worth a visit."
“Dark, gritty and hauntingly lyrical, Keith Gilman writes noir with the authenticity of a cop who has actually worked the mean streets,”
“There’s so much genuine suspense in this book. So much wisdom and humanity. Keith Gilman obviously knows these cold hard streets he’s writing about, and he knows how to tell a hell of a story.”
