As usual with Parker, the dialogue is crisp and smart and the action is always swift and brutal — Simon Shaw * Mail on Sunday * Now and Then proves that both Parker and his aging hero are still capable of peak performances — Bob Hahn * New York Post * Hard-boiled fiction seasoned with mental acuity. Now and Then is a novel that satisfies on many levels * The Strand Magazine * vintage Parker, filled with banter and repartee, swagger and rule-skirting — Irene Sege * Boston Globe * no-nonsense action * Publishers Weekly *
