From the Inside Flap:
"A sleekly constructed homage to those noir novels of yesteryear . . . [Heffernan's] feelings for the postwar period are palpable in his seductive descriptions of New York nightscapes and in the free-and-easy speech patterns of characters long gone but too vivid to be forgotten." --NEW YORK TIMES
About the Author:
"There's a nice noir feeling to the opening pages of A TIME GONE BY . . . Heffernan's novels are not so much about the murder but the effect the murder has on the people involved. That's not just good mystery writing. That's good writing, period." --DENVER POST
"Heffernan's tale is beguiling . . . His success in the reworking of a classic American art form is also obvious. Cain and Hammett would have approved." --ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS
"An aging police detective's regrets are examined in raw, moving detail in this superior crime drama . . . Edgar-winning Heffernan once again shows himself a craftsman of the hardboiled style, as well as a seamless handler of shifting viewpoints and emotions." --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
William Heffernan is the bestselling author of numerous highly acclaimed novels, among them The Corsican, The Dinosaur Club, and Beulah Hill. He lives in Vermont.

Spanning the years from 1945 to 1975, this fine novel is rich in atmosphere and ripe with the kind of white-hot, hardboiled sexuality that distinguished the classic detective novels of authors like Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, and the noir films to which they gave rise.
