“Diamond hard noir. No holds barred, no punches pulled. There’s a whole lot of fun to be had. Sharp, to-the-point, and briskly-written. More Ray Boyd please, Mr. Goldberg.”
—CrimeTime FM
Ray Boyd is an ex-con traveling the open road in a used Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, going wherever his need for money and sex lead him, thinking only of himself and nobody else.
In “If I Were a Rich Man,” Goldberg’s brutal, sexually explicit, and darkly funny new novella, Ray is on the trail of lost diamonds from a legendary jewelry heist…and stumbles into a twisted honey trap.
Praise for Crown Vic 2:
“Crown Vic 2 is a quick tale that packs a lot of punch. It’s a wonderful throwback tough guy Men’s Adventure series but thoroughly modern at the same time.” Bloody, Spicy, Books
Praise for the Ray Boyd stories:
“Boyd plays all the notes just right. The trip is a blast.” Dark City Underground
“Goldberg brings on the funny while being wildly observant.” Los Angeles Times
“Ray, even with all his failings, is a Lee Goldberg character: observant, witty, at times downright funny – for the reader at least – and a heck of a good escape for all of us drab work-a-day slobs.” Gravetapping
“A fun departure for Goldberg and a throwback to the thrilling and erotic men’s adventure novels of the 1970s.” Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine
“And here I thought that Lee Goldberg was such a nice boy…but in Crown Vic, he unleashes the beast with stories that just reek of 1950s pulp paperbacks.” The Thrilling Detective
“Goldberg is pretty tricky with the plot of this one, springing twist after twist. It’s very well-written & very, very entertaining… Ray may not be the most admirable character around, but he does make for compelling reading.” Rough Edges
