My latest novel THE COLDEST MILE, follow-up to my Edgar Award-nominated THE COLD SPOT, officially streeted this week. Most stores should have it in stock, but if not, you can always special order it. And Amazon.com has been shipping quickly, from what folks tell me.
I hope that everyone who gives it a go really enjoys it. Feel free to drop me a line and send me a link if you blog about it (good or bad) or do a review on Amazon.com or B&N.com. Nowadays, novels live or die by word of mouth as much as by anything else.
Some blurbs:
"[Tom Piccirilli’s] prose has the visceral punch of the best pulp writers of the past century…."—Eddie Muller, San Francisco Chronicle
"Hard-boiled crime writing ... It’s pedal to the metal for 352 pages. Don’t miss it."—Booklist
"Prepare for a journey as thrilling as it is provocative." —James Rollins, author of The Judas Strain
"Blackest noir, the most minimal kind of minimalism, and at the same time deeply emotional: this is not easy to do."—Peter Abrahams, bestselling author of Nerve Damage
"The book roars off the line with all the force and forward velocity of two tons of Detroit muscle car and never lets up on the pace. Crime novels don't get faster or grittier than this one, and in Chase, Tom has created a character who'll stick with you for years to come."–Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore

I can't wait for this any longer. I preordered it through Amazon years ago (well..you know) and they haven't sent it. I am going out to pick up a copy today.
Thank God I had Children Of Chaos to keep me preoccupied.

Thanks, guys, much appreciated.
Really strange that Amazon.com hasn't shipped yet, Tony. They started sending off pre-orders over a week ago.

I know Tom. I purposely ordered through them thinking I would get it early. I picked it up this morning and will start it this evening. Unless The Nobdody shows up today, that's first on the list.

I'm hoping to finish it tonight or tomorrow night.
I am amazed how much this book is reminding me of the early novels in F. Paul Wilson's Repairman Jack series. Not the supernatural stuff of course, but the authors voice and the ability to have the character connect so well with the reader (I remember that after I read some of Wilson's earlier novels I also had dreams about Repairman Jack). As a reader, you really get the feeling that you know Chase and wouldn't mind hanging around the guy.
Repairman Jack and Chase, man, that would be one hell of a collaboration. (But I know what Tom would say...only in my dreams.)
How the hell do you do it? Where you bitten by a spider? Exposed to gamma rays? Dropped onto your head when you were a kid? I am convnced you posses a superpower.
And fuck all, I should've known by now. You've done it so many times... making the reader feel comfortable, making us feel like we're keeping up with you...do you write these books backwards?
Damn....it's no wonder everyone says they want to write like Tom Piccirilli.

Glad you're liking the book!

Not sure when I'll get back to the Cold series, Tt. I keep hoping it'll be my next book, but right now I'm contracted to do a suspense-crime-thriller instead, plus another project I can't talk about. So it'll be at least a couple of years. Unless, of course, The Coldest Mile sells really well. Maybe if we can get it into an early second printing Bantam will let me jump back in sooner rather than later.
As for Chase getting laid...Lila's only been dead a couple of months. Show some respect for the man's mourning!

The Horrordude's thoughts on the first half of The Coldest Mile: Amazing. Brilliant. This Piccirilli guy has a good shot at a being a big author if he sticks with this writing gig.
Chase is the character every other writer wishes they created.
