Editorial Reviews

The humor is of the physical sort, the characters are refreshingly unromantic, and the action will leave readers with a compulsion to check their smoke detector batteries regularly.

Publisher's Weekly - unnamed reviewer

Excellent story-telling . . . Emerson is a top-notch writer.

Chattanooga Times - book editor

Always a pleasure to read . . . Emerson's style is muscular and active.

L.A. Times - Dick Lochte

Staircase is worth the haul . . . the town produces sensational fires, and when the guys at the station house are in the mood, they tell some terrific war stories.
