Praise for the Junior Bender Series"Timothy Hallinan's The Fame Thief has everything I've come to expect in a Hallinan novel: indelible, complex characters, fantastic plot, and moments of hold-your-breath suspense."—Charlaine Harris, author of the New York Times bestselling Sookie Stackhouse series“A modern-day successor to Raymond Chandler.” —Los Angeles Daily News"If Carl Hiaasen and Donald Westlake had a literary love child, he would be Timothy Hallinan.  The Edgar nominee's laugh-out-loud new crime series featuring Hollywood burglar-turned-private eye Junior Bender has breakout written all over it... A must-read." —Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times bestselling author of One Was a Soldier"Junior Bender is today’s Los Angeles as Raymond Chandler might have written it. Tim [Hallinan] is a master at tossing out the kind of hard-boiled lines that I wish I thought of first."—Bruce DeSilva, Macavity & Edgar Award-winning author of Rogue Island“This is Hallinan at the top of his game. It's laugh-out-loud funny without ever losing any of its mystery. It’s a whole new style and I love it. Junior Bender—a crook with a heart of gold—is one of Hallinan's most appealing heroes, rich with invention, and brimming with classic wit. I can’t recommend it highly enough.” —Shadoe Stevens, Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson   “Hallinan is a stunning talent.” —Gregg Hurwitz, author of They're Watchingss
