Stylish . . . well-observed. *
New York Times *
The appeal of Koryta's addictively readable narrative comes from his remarkably realistic portrayal of not only individuals but circumstances as well. There are no stereotypical characters, no predictable plot lines; like life, nothing is pure black or white but varying shades of gray. *
Chicago Tribune *
One of the best P.I.-against-the-world books I've read in a long, long time. Koryta's dialogue remains vivid and his characters sharp as a diamond drill bit. *
Crimespree Magazine *
A WELCOME GRAVE is much more than a well-written and suspenseful mystery. It is a fictional snapshot depicting how law enforcement and legal machines can be manipulated to favor the rich and powerful at the expense of the poor and powerless - and the innocent. Michael Koryta has crafted an exciting novel with carefully rendered characters, even secondary ones, who will remain with the reader long after turning the last page. * bookreporter.com *
Michael Koryta is one of the most exciting new voices in crime fiction. *

News of the World *
On my must-read list. * Dean Koontz *
