Praise for Deep Winter

The New York Times

The woods may be lovely, as Robert Frost would have it, but they’re also dreadfully dark in DEEP WINTER...the beautifully written
but disturbing first novel by Samuel W. Gailey.

Esquire Magazine

Enthralling and suspenseful, like a Michael Connelly or Lee Child crime novel, but more elegantly written.

— Joe R. Lansdale, author of The Thicket and The Bottoms

Deep Winter is a fast paced thriller tense enough to give you paper cuts from turning the pages so quickly.

Library Journal

A portrait of a distinctive character (think Lennie in Of Mice and Men) and of a town hiding nasty secrets.

Booklist

so brilliantly done, so artfully underwritten with not a word wasted.

— Publisher’s Weekly

A moving picture of a man…who becomes a moral compass.

— Kirkus Reviews

Gailey writes visually, rendering the characters and action both vivid and alive.

— Raven Crime Reads

Deep Winter hits you with the toxic blast of Frank Bill, combined with the raw emotional intensity of Daniel Woodrell.
