Critics Review
-
“Squeal combines high-octane action, baroque violence, humor, and pathos in a self-assured manner that marks Mr. Hallinan as a capable practitioner of the private-eye tale.”
Wall Street Journal
-
“A grimly authentic portrait of LA’s sordid subculture.”
San Diego Union
-
“Get a copy of Everything but the Squeal, but be prepared to shut off the phone or fax machine; you won’t want to brook any interruptions once you start it.”
Tom Hatten, KNX Radio, Los Angeles
-
“Hallinan employs skillful pacing, LA color, and Simeon’s attractive persona to grip readers.”

“Treat[s] a grimly fascinating subject matter and location with sharp-voiced style and verve.”
Library Journal
-
“Hallinan once again supplies a riveting story, and Grist continues to be one of the most intriguing of the new private eyes.”
Booklist
-
“A kiddie-porn second case for LA private eye Simeon Grist finds him staking out the Oki-Burger hangout as he looks for thirteen-year-old runaway Aimee Sorrell. Grist borrows Jessica, the savvy teen-age daughter of his good friends Annie and Wyatt, to use as bait…Fast-paced action, with grim views of runaway exploiters and their physically abused prey. Jessica and Grist, meanwhile, make for a nonstereotypical sleuthing duo.”
