"Great characters, local Detroit and Montana scenery, and writing that would make Elmore Leonard jealous."
Bruce Jacobs, Watermark Books

Based on historic events, GO BY GO tells how a rookie Pinkerton operative gets not only his first taste of what violence really means, but also finds that both the sins of the flesh and political moral turpitude must be paid for again and again through the next four decades, privately and publicly, culminating in the morass of the McCarthy-era communist witch-hunts.

"Through five novels, Jackson's Fang Mulheisen series quietly established itself as perhaps the toughest, most darkly comic, consistently superior American procedural on the market. Then, with the publication of DEAD FOLKS (1996), the chorus of critical praise grew to a crescendo, and the word was finally out. Now comes number seven, and there is no reason to stop shouting." Booklist/February 15, 1998

It's a blessing to have Joe Service back, even if he hasn't got all his marbles yet.

Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review

Fang Mulheisen, Detroit police detective extraordinaire, is on a mission - this time to the high, dusty plains of Montana, where Helen Sedlacek seems to have surfaced, and long time Mulheisen nemesis, Joe Service... well, read it and find out!

Scene: Detroit. Time: The present. Action: Somebody is methodically knocking off all the top mobsters in the city. Sergeant "Fang" Mulheisen has another tough case on his hands. If Mulheisen doesn't solve this case in a hurry, there will be more bloodshed.

Detroit - Murder City - is the right place to find a corpse. This time the body is "Books Meldrim - pimp, snitch and long time denizen of the Library Bar." The finder is Grootka, retired cop, perpetual grouch and a department legend for his bad habits and tough detective work.

"Jon Jackson's THE BLIND PIG is without a doubt one of the finest detective novels ever written - smart, funny and completely convincing. I've re-read the novel a dozen times and it's always a great read. It's one of my favorites."

 James Crumley, 1994 Dashiell Hammett Award Winner - Best Literary Crime Novel

"Mr. Jackson stands right up there with the best chroniclers of urban crime."       The New York Times Book Review
