About A NEW PROSPECT, the author, Wayne Zurl, and his main character, Sam Jenkins

Apr 1, 2011 by

Zurl’s spare style quickly captures his hero’s nature, but the characters are also offered in condensed and pithy bites. These descriptions [show] Zurl’s eye for the old style in a modern world.

Jenkins retains his hard-nosed, wise-cracking style of detectives such as Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe. [But] like all remarkable characters, this…tough guy has his sentimental side.

[Zurl’s] experience helped him master writing in an authentic, laid-back, hard-bitten police procedural style.
