REVIEWERS
1. From : William Kent Krueger, New York Times top rated creator
In this introduction trip of another series, Steve Goble conveys a credible, convincing story of a country cop with a spooky past. City Problems is both a unique procedural and a sharp picture of a man at battle with himself. Albeit the staggering, profane composition ought to be enjoyed, I'm wagering this is a book you will eat up in a solitary sitting.
2. From : Terry Shames, Lefty and Macavity Award-winning creator
A marvelous new series. Ed Runyon is a steady cop, and Goble puts a new twist on the cop with a spooky past.
3. From : Jon Land, USA Today top of the line creator
City Problems is a wrongdoing thrill ride of uncommon passionate profundity, feeling, and anxiety. Steve Goble wonderfully acquaints us with another legend in Detective Ed Runyan . . . in an intense and supporting design suggestive of Michael Connelly and Robert Crais. Also, if Dashiell Hammett or Raymond Chandler had at any point picked a provincial setting for their wrongdoing books, this is what it would resemble.
4. From : Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
* [In City Problems,] Goble matches an all around made plot with a profoundly grieved lead who's unfailingly on the person in question if not generally on the right half of the law. Devotees of abrasive, practical wrongdoing fiction will anticipate seeing much more of Runyon.
