Praise for BLOOD BY CHOICE: There are writers who take the language of the gutter and elevate it to a tarnished gospel. Rob Pierce is one of those rare authors who does that effortlessly. -S.A. Cosby author of Blacktop WastelandRob Pierce is not afraid to write noir. His dialogue crackles and hooks you while never veering into clichés and his characters the bad ones and the badder ones all are imbued with a level of humanity which pulls you into Blood By Choice from the opening character. You might not fully like Dust but I guarantee youll follow him as he cuts a path of vengeance through the Oakland landscape. -Hector Acosta author of Hardway and Edgar nominee Rob Pierce gets the world I see; its a world that owes you nothing and gives you even less. For all the losers troublemakers and assholes who will never fit in thank God (or the other guy) for Rob Pierce. -Joe Clifford author of The LakehouseRob Pierce gives you no time to get reacquainted with Uncle Dust with his latest Blood By Choice because he lights the fuse right away. The result is the beat-down junked-up sideways shit-uation youve come to expect from the master of hardboiled low-life noir author of Uncle Dust Tommy Shakes and With the Right Enemies. Go ahead and re-shelve your Parker novels in the kiddie lit section; its time to make room for Dust. -Eryk Pruitt author of Dirtbags and What We ReckonAnyone who believes revenge is a dish best served cold has never read Rob Pierce. He serves it up hot. And nasty. Its also said a man heading off on a journey of vengeance should begin by digging two graves. Having just finished Blood by Choice Id call that number a bit low. -David Corbett award-winning author of The Long-Lost Love Letters of Doc HollidayWith Blood By Choice Rob Pierce reasserts himself as one of Noirs underground heroes. Tough taut and will get your attention like brass knuckles to the face. Good thing were all used to washing our hands a lot because youll need to after this gritty dive into a world of dirty dealings and vicious revenge. -Eric Beetner author of All The Way DownPierce returns with his favorite felon Uncle Dust and builds the East Bay body count one terrible twist at a time. -Tom Pitts author of ColdwaterRob Pierce-The Grand Poobah of Nasty Noir-closes out his Dust To Dust Trilogy (or whatever the $@&% hes calling it) with Blood By Choice-an absolute shotgun blast to the gut of a crime novel. -Todd Robinson author of Rough Trade
