“An intriguing read, smartly written, Waltz Against the Sky beautifully evokes a fading era of journalism as young newspaper editor Evan Blaine covers a brutal crime in a small Texas town. He encounters darkly comic criminals reminiscent of an Elmore Leonard novel, police officers who play with the law as they wish, and a stalwart judge who tries to make things right for the hapless innocents as well as the perpetrators. With well-paced action and quick-flowing dialogue, the multi-layered stories of these realistic characters play into a lively plot that fuses their fates.”
