Praise for Quiver

"Quiver is mature, funny, well paced and smartly structured."
-Jack Batten, The Star (Toronto)

"Son of Elmore, Peter Leonard is a chip off the old block...Quiver, his debut, is a dark, nasty tale that rattles along at a great pace...Quiver is genre fiction doing what it does best; the dialogue is film-script sharp and the plotting relentless...an exceedingly promising debut by anyone's standards."
-Tina Jackson, The Metro (London)

“Peter Leonard’s first novel, Quiver, amply shows that he’s the great Elmore’s son. This book is a wicked trip…unique and engaging. I salute Peter Leonard at the beginning of what will obviously be a fine career.”
—Jim Harrison, author of Returning to Earth and Legends of the Fall

“A spare, violent and grittily humorous crime novel…with some cracking dialogue, clever plotting and an enjoyably bloody climax.”
–The Times (London)

"If the best of Tarantino, Carl Hiaasen and Scott Turow was shaken, given a
jot of pure heart and put down on paper, then that would be Quiver. With
cracking dialogue, characters nailed to perfection and breakneck pace, Peter Leonard is more than just his father's son. He is his very own writer and a huge talent."
-Mo Hayder

)“Leonard has his father's knack for creating memorable characters who are both sinister and amusing. The result is a masterful debut.”
—Calgary Sun

“Reading Leonard is just as much fun as reading, well, Leonard.”
—Providence Journal-Bulletin

“This is an outstanding debut… Great tension and sharp-as-a-tack writing!”
—Seattle Post-Intelligencer

“An outstanding debut….Leonard, the son of grandmaster mystery writer Elmore Leonard, deftly utilizes frequent flashback scenes in a tense tale that’s easily one of the best crime novels of the year.”
—East Lansing Journal

“You’ll be sitting in the air off the edge of your chair more than once during your reading of Quiver.”
—Bookreporter.com

“Peter Leonard’s energetic style makes one forget the name Elmore and concentrate on the Leonard....Good writing may be in his genes, but the style’s all his own.”
—The South Florida Sun-Sentinel

“Quiver is a terrific debut. Peter Leonard has a good ear for voices, a good eye for detail, and a talent for bringing together elements that can’t do anything but explode.”
—Edgar Award Winner Thomas Perry, author of Silence

“Leonard has written an accomplished nail-biter, a harbinger of even better stories to come.”
---Rocky Mountain News

"Hilarious, moving, thoughtful, and with one hell of a story. A major new
voice has roared and oh, with such dark ferocity."
-Ken Bruen

“The best parts of the novel concern the crooks, who, if not as gloriously quirky as those in Elmore Leonard’s novels, are sometimes funny and sometimes scary.”
—Washington Post
