Sweet Dreams - by Peter Leonard (Hardcover)

"If you haven't read Leonard before--and you must--this is a great place to start."
--The Guardian

"While he will always face comparisons with his legendary father, Elmore Leonard, the author (Quiver; Trust Me; Voices of the Dead; All He Saw Was the Girl) continues to establish himself as one of today's better mystery writers. Easily readable in a single sitting, Leonard's fifth novel will appeal to fans of mystery, thrillers, and the Leonard name."
--Library Journal

"Quiver is a spectacular debut....With a large cast of characters--each presented as meticulously as an Andrew Wyeth portrait--and numerous points of view, all funneling inevitably to a stunning conclusion, you will be holding your breath until the final page. Peter's dad should be proud."
--Otto Penzler, owner of The Mysterious Bookshop

"A strong debut that combines a tight plot (about a deadly double-cross in the woods of Michigan) with memorable characters and dialogue--come to think of it, not unlike what Leonard's father, Elmore Leonard, creates."
--Seattle Times

"An outstanding debut....Leonard, the son of grandmaster mystery writer Elmore Leonard, deftly utilizes frequent flashback scenes in a tense tale that's easily one of the best crime novels of the year."
--East Lansing Journal

"The best parts of the novel concern the crooks, who, if not as gloriously quirky as those in Elmore Leonard's novels, are sometimes funny and sometimes scary."
-Washington Post

"Peter Leonard's energetic style makes one forget the name Elmore and concentrate on the Leonard....Good writing may be in his genes, but the style's all his own."
--Oline Cogdill, The South Florida Sun-Sentinel
