"Rob Pierce gives you no time to get reacquainted with Uncle Dust with his latest, Blood By Choice, because he lights the fuse right away. Go ahead and re-shelve your Parker novels in the kiddie lit section; it's time to make room for Dust." —Eryk Pruitt, author of Dirtbags and What We Reckon

"Anyone who believes revenge is a dish best served cold has never read Rob Pierce. He serves it up hot. And nasty. It's also said a man heading off on a journey of vengeance should begin by digging two graves. Having just finished Blood by Choice, I'd call that number a bit low." —David Corbett, award-winning author of The Long-Lost Love Letters of Doc Holliday
