"Goldberg is charming and sharp, with a quip for every occasion . . . Although each book stands on its own, taken together, the Gangsterland novels read like a single sweeping story with a large cast and numerous storylines, which Goldberg compares to the slow-developing character arc over the course of several seasons of shows like Game of Thrones and The Wire. This gave Goldberg a great deal of latitude to tell the story in an emotionally satisfying way . . . Goldberg’s success in this anti-heroic mode is rare in the world of crime fiction. Where many writers emphasize the violence in their stories, Goldberg pays equal attention to its psychic aftermath." —Jim Ruland, Los Angeles Times
“Gangsters Don’t Die is a thrilling and sometimes hilarious exploration of the myth and the lie and the truth of The Life. A distillation of the gangster's code (hint: there really isn't one) and the Code we adopt as we find the lines in our lives we can't cross. It’s Death of a Salesman meets The Irishman with more laughs. I loved every minute of it.” —S.A. Cosby, bestselling author of Razorblade Tears and Blacktop Wasteland
