Pronzini spins a low-key but absorbing tale, made especially enjoyable by his insightful rendering of the desert locale and its peculiar inhabitants The San Diego Union Tribune on The Other Side of Silence a good old-fashioned search-and capture mission with all the usual Pronzini virtues Publishers Weekly on The Other Side of Silence A seamless tour de force...Pronzini is an author no one should miss.
