Reviews
Critically acclaimed by leading mystery critics and Old Time Radio
historians.
| Francis M. Nevins, Noted mystery writer and critic |
This book snaps us back to a time before many of us were born, to
the golden age of pulp crime fiction when Chandler and Gardner and
Woolrich rode tall in their sadles . . . Both Coxe and Casey are
long gone but their books brings them back, as fresh as ever.

| J. David Goldin, "The Man Who Saved Radio" |
This is a great book that follow the career of Flashghun Casey for
over two decades. The main emphasis is on the radio years, which is
o.k. with me. Siegel is a meticulous researcher.

| Dick Bertel, Host of WTIC's Golden Age of Radio broadcast |
This is no mere snapshot of Casey, Crime Photographer but a richly
detailed portrait that secures the program's rightful place in
radio's history.
