Praise for Only Way Out "Small-town crime, big-time stakes, and the twists and turns aren't only in the plot. If there's an inheritor of Elmore Leonard, it's Tod Goldberg." --Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author "In Only Way Out , Tod Goldberg takes us to the washed-out edges of the Oregon coast, where lost souls, small-time hustlers, and true believers collide in a derelict resort town. This is a story about escape--what we'll do to get free, who we'll become to stay gone--shot through with black comedy. Sharp, strange, and unexpectedly moving." --Ivy Pochoda, author of Ecstasy "Tod Goldberg has redefined the noir genre with Only Way Out . An unapologetic gripping view into criminal schemes gone bad, bad lives gone even worse, and sad lives redeemed. No beat is skipped as the exquisitely drawn, tragic characters repeatedly cross paths along an epic crime noir journey.

" --Steven Konkoly, USA Today bestselling author Praise for Tod Goldberg "Goldberg is one of the best (and funniest) crime writers working today." -- Orange County Register "Tod Goldberg is the literary offspring of Elmore Leonard and Charles Portis, which means he's smart, deep, and profoundly funny." --CrimeReads "Tod Goldberg is a terrific writer." --Don Winslow "Tod Goldberg is one of this nation's sagest storytellers." --Attica Locke.
