“Marlowe’s Revenge is sun-bleached desert noir at its finest. Violent funny weird and 100% original. Count me a huge fan.” —Tod Goldberg New York Times bestselling author of Gangsterland

“I want to thank the El Tiradito shrine that Marlowe Billings rides again. Dan Stuart was in one of my favorite bands Green on Red and now has created Marlowe Billings my favorite golf loving ex-junkie trouble-collecting miscreant. With Marlowe’s Revenge Dan Stuart proves once again he keeps getting better and better.” —Willy Vlautin award-winning author of The Motel Life and songwriter for The Delines and Richmond Fontaine

“With his latest literary effort former Green on Red frontman Dan Stuart offers a pulp meditation of bad men doing bad things the hopeless and hapless that surround them and the cascading nature of addiction and regret. Marlowe’s Revenge is part murder mystery part faded love story part redemption tale (without much redemption). Beautiful twisted and real – this is high desert poetry about low people. As a memoirist and noirist Stuart continues to be a goddamn revelation.” —Bob Mehr New York Times bestselling author of Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements
