'TWAS THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS - - and two robbers hired by a local crime boss manage to heist half a million dollars from an armored car. But getting the money and getting away with it are two different things, especially with a blizzard coming down, the cops in hot pursuit, and a double-crossing gambler and a murderous park ranger threatening to turn this white Christmas blood red.

"He has come up with a refreshing novel that deserves attention." - Book Reporter
"The clever plotting and touches of humor make this an excellent holiday crime caper for readers of hard-boiled mystery." - Library Journal
"Besides writing convincingly about cops and criminals, Boyd (Nada), the pseudonym of a former police chief in central Ohio, captures the feel of postwar smalltown America, and even manages to get in some telling commentary on the period's racial prejudice." - Publishers Weekly Starred Review
"Easy Death proves to be a slyly funny and entertaining read." - Booklist
