Items related to Tumblin’ Dice: A Mystery (The Toronto Series)
The High had a couple of hit songs in the late ’70s and now they’re back playing the nostalgia circuit at casinos. The bass player, Barry, and the lead singer, Cliff, have found a way to make the tour worthwhile: rob the drug dealers and the shylocks that work every casino. Their old manager, Frank, now works one of their tour stops, and the guys decide to go for one big score and get the millions he swindled from them. But extracting old debts isn’t a simple transaction, and the rockers find themselves in the middle of a battlefield when the Saints of Hell bikers try to drive out the Philadelphia mobsters who’ve been running the casino. Tumblin’ Dice rolls with cops and mobsters, rock stars and bikers, in a gritty, absorbing tour through a criminal underworld that’s thoroughly convincing.

Review:
John McFetridge is the coauthor of "Below of the Line" and author of "Dirty Sweet" and "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere." He lives in Toronto, Ontario.
"[A] tightly plotted, snappy endeavour. . . . The book positively exudes rock 'n' roll cred: it's full of dirt, sex, and sweat, and its title is only one of many homages to classic rock." —Quill & Quire (March 2012)
Canada’s answer to Elmore Leonard, John McFetridge is going places . . . The title of Canadian author [his] second crime novel is as packed with rascally attitude as the book itself." Toronto Star
[McFetridge is] a clear disciple of Elmore Leonard . . . a fun read." Publishers Weekly
"It's funny, it's moving, it works, and the worst thing I can say about McFetridge is that he appears to like Rush." —www.DetectivesBeyondBorders.blogspot.ca
"Tumblin' Dice is a razor sharp riveting story with a very cool vibe. Loved it. Highly recommended." —www.SpineTinglerMag.com
"John McFetridge is -- or should be -- a star in the world of crime fiction." —Toronto Sun (March 25, 2012)
"He's the guy with just the right balance of grit, humour and rock’n’roll knowledge to do the job." —Toronto Star (March 24, 2012)
"Each of John McFetridge's . . . novels have a rhythm to them, mixing taut dialogue, spare description and a dark sensibility with the cool calm of a master bass player." —National Post (April 6, 2012)
