"If Raymond Chandler knew then what we know now, he might have written a book like this. Highly recommended." (Dope) Lee Child

"I read Come Closer on the train, in a snowstorm, on a cold December night. It was the right atmosphere for this perfectly noirish tale of madness and love. Author Sara Gran writes with scalpel-like clarity, expertly blending tones to create a new kind of psychological thriller. Days after finishing it, it has not left my mind. I loved this book."  (Come Closer) George Pelecanos
