Review Quotes

Praise for Body Broker (selected by IPG as a Top Shelf pick): "Body Broker is lean and wiry in its prose as well as how the book reflects its primary character...Jack Dixon brings to mind the almost quiet suffering of [John le Carre's] George Smiley." --Costa Koutsoutis, TheMeansAtHand.Com
