The Guardian
Well crafted and very scary
The Times
Tough, composed and about as noir as you can go. Starr is a worthy successor to Charles Willeford
Literary Review
At the cutting edge of the revival of classic American noir fiction
Daily Telegraph
A sick, slick dissection of office politics and nine-to-five murder.... Cold Caller recalls the bloody pulp fiction of Jim Thompson and James M. Cain, devilishly updated for the 'work is hell' '90s
Detour
If Jim Thompson had gotten an MBA, he might have written Cold Caller, a ravingly readable story of a downwardly mobile yuppie who'll just kill to get ahead. Once a rising VP at a topflight ad agency, Bill Moss now works as a "cold caller" at a telemarketing firm in the Times Square area. He's got a bad case of the urban blues, and when a pink slip rather than promotion comes through, Bill snaps... Now he's got a dead supervisor on his hands and problems no career counsellor can help him with.
Jason Starr has retooled the James M. Cain novel of cynical suspense and murder for the fiber-optic age.
