Danny Gardner and A NEGRO AND AND OFAY are on the Menu at The Blue Plate Special

Host Terri Lynn Coop serves up author Danny Gardner on The Blue Plate Special Podcast

“Gardner’s hard-bitten crime drama is candid, unflinching, and full of gallows humor. As Elliot says, “You avoid surprises by being the surprise,” and Gardner’s hero is just that—a bright new entry in the genre, ready to take on the world in word and deed. Debts owed, lines drawn, claims made, Elliot settles up and finds a way to live the life he can’t outrun.” ForeWord Reviews
