Advance Praise for "FOUL MATTER"
"If you thought there were strange, amazing twists and wildly eccentric characters in Martha Grimes's Richard Jury novels, wait until you see what happens when she takes on the world of publishing. Foul Matter is a sharp, funny, satisfying caper for anyone who has ever wondered what really goes on in this crazy business." -Robert Parker "Run for the hills! Publishers, editors, writers, wannabe writers, literary hit men, all are ruthlessly skewered in this wonderfully funny novel about the terrifying world of book publishing!" -Ed McBain "Foul Matter is a multi-faceted masterpiece, incorporating many genres while transcending them all. A viciously hilarious dissection of the publishing business, Grimes wields scalpel and sledgehammer with equal skill . . . and zeal. If the truth hurts, Foul Matter is downright homicidal." -Andrew Vachss "Martha Grimes slices and dices the book publishing industry in Foul Matter as elegantly as our chef prepares a Cobb salad. Egos running riot? Editors stabbing one another in the back? Hit men hired to get a writer to sign a book contract? Yes, and more, and all in just one power lunch." -Michael McCarty, owner, Michael's Restaurant in New York City and Santa Monica, California "The best of Grimes; the worst of crimes. Foul Matter aims at the dark heart of the publishing world and scores a sharp, savvy and scathingly funny hit." -Judith Kelman |
