PRAISE FOR TRASHED

"Creepy and suspenseful… a fun, juicy read."

--Chicago Sun Times

"The hectic pace and huge cast of extras keep the reader guessing to the end."

--Publishers Weekly

"For more than 30 years, I have collected novels with journalists as protagonists. The collection, housed at the University of Missouri library tops 3000 books, of which I have read a significant percentage. This one ranks in the top one percent in terms of plotting and verisimilitude."

-- Steve Weinberg, director, National Book Critics Circle
