Early Reviews of Prodigal Son...

"Cavanagh's crackerjack pace and his hero's lack of self-pity compellingly dramatize the chaos of Mike's life."
-- Kirkus Reviews

"With the clarity of Robert B. Parker and the complexity of Michael Connelly, Prodigal Son disturbs and charms at the same time." -- Booklist

"Cavanagh...avoids cliches as he infuses Prodigal Son with a strong sense of humor and exciting twists in both plot and character." -- South Forida Sun-Sentinel

"If you enjoy good crime fiction with more plot twists than the Busch Gardens Python, you’ll love Cavanagh’s Prodigal Son. It’s sharp, witty, loaded with action and so well-plotted that it will keep you guessing right through to its surprise ending." -- WGCU-FM
