ReviewsPraise for the Ed Runyon Mystery Series "In this debut outing of a new series, Steve Goble delivers an authentic, compelling story of a rural cop with a haunted past. City Problems is both a dynamic procedural and an incisive portrait of a man at war with himself. Although the stunning, profane prose should be savored, I'm betting this is a book you will gobble up in a single sitting." --William Kent Krueger, New York Times best-selling author " City Problems is a crime thriller of rare emotional depth, pathos, and angst. Steve Goble masterfully introduces us to a new hero in Detective Ed Runyon . . . in a bold and bracing fashion reminiscent of Michael Connelly and Robert Crais. And, if Dashiell Hammett or Raymond Chandler had ever chosen a rural setting for their crime novels, this is what it would look like." --Jon Land, USA Today best-selling author "A terrific new series. Ed Runyon is a relentless cop, and Goble puts a fresh spin on the cop with a haunted past." --Terry Shames, Lefty and Macavity Award-winning author of the Samuel Craddock series * "[In City Problems ,] Goble matches a well-crafted plot with a deeply troubled lead who's unfailingly on the side of the victim if not always on the right side of the law. Fans of gritty, realistic crime fiction will look forward to seeing a lot more of Runyon." -- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review), Praise for the Ed Runyon Mystery Series "In this debut outing of a new series, Steve Goble delivers an authentic, compelling story of a rural cop with a haunted past.
