“So big, bald, and brutal was he that we took him to our hearts at once... exceptionally fine writing."
― Booklist

"A smart, noirish mystery loaded with clever dialogue and vivid characters. The Crush series is as good as it gets."
― Kirkus (starred review)

"With playful dialogue and a streak of dark humor throughout, this title is perfect for fans of Elmore Leonard and Lee Child."
―Library Journal

“Man, these Crush novels just keep getting better and better. Crush is like Jack Reacher with a hair up his ass. And the Los Angeles that Sutton writes about is the secret Los Angeles that nobody knows and everybody wants to know. Sutton answers questions about the city that I didn't even know I had.”
― Hart Hanson, author of The Driver and creator of Bones

“Welcome to the Pasadena you won’t find in the guidebooks as Phoef Sutton puts you in the shotgun seat with the tough and terse Crush in the cold-eyed Colorado Boulevard.”

“A family saga meets thriller on the streets of Pasadena―Colorado Boulevard is the best Crush book yet!”

“Caleb Rush, AKA Crush, has a history riveted with dangerous living: soldier, drifter, bodyguard, recovering alcoholic, and “friend bro” to his hapless stepbrother, K.C. Zerbe. When K.C. is kidnapped, Crush sets off on a madcap ride through Pasadena and environs to rescue him. Car crashes, concussions, nail-biting suspense, and a cast of quirky characters...Colorado Boulevard has it all. But it’s Crush’s humor and humanity that highlight the resilience of the human spirit and make this story soar.”
― Patricia Smiley, Los Angeles Times–bestselling author of Pacific Homicide.
