Kirkus Review

“Lauden’s prose zooms along with an arch energy, and the final installment in his Greg Salem trilogy keeps the plot twists coming at warp speed.” Full review.

Crimespree Magazine

“The twists, turns, and shocks are enough to leave the reader gasping for more.”

Son of Spade

“As a rock journalist in my spare time I know the scene pretty well and Mr. Lauden just manages to convey so well how it is and feels, it’s impressive. Awesome, awesome stuff.”

Owen Laukkanen, author of “The Professionals” and “Criminal Enterprise”

As savage, fast-paced and bleakly comic as your favorite punk rock anthem, S.W. Lauden’s HANG TIME is a wicked and fitting finale to a first-rate trilogy, packed full of both sex and violence of the no-holds-barred variety, and building to a gut-punch conclusion that’ll leave you reeling long after you’ve closed the last page.” —Owen Laukkanen, author of THE PROFESSIONALS and CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE

Liam Sweeney, author of “Dead Man’s Switch” and “Welcome Back Jack”

“Addiction, isolation, punk rock and murder — all on a hot mic.”
