Review # 1 was written on 2013-06-05 00:00:00 Joseph Graziano Michael Z. Lewin's interestingly named Called By A Panther gets its name from a piece of Ogden Nash verse: "If called by a panther / don't anther." Private detective Albert Samson is contacted by a group of eco-terrorists called the Scum Front. The Scum Front specializes in placing fully functional bombs in prominent buildings around Indianapolis. The bombs are functional except for a little piece is left unconnected along with a note that indicates that they are completely aware how to make the bomb operational. Then, they call a local cable TV station and get lots of publicity for their cause. The police are at a loss, but they are really irritated when they get a call about a bomb and there is no bomb.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-01-23 00:00:00 Jonathan Cruse Heart-breaking crime fiction with Albert Samson - one of the great private eyes in this genre - up against it and, as ever, out of his depth. I cannot recommend this series highly enough to fans of hard-boiled fiction. But, be warned, if you like happy endings this is not for you. Like the very best of hard-boiled crime, Michael Lewin is uncompromising in his commitment to the story.
