Praise
“Barclay successfully balances the comical and serious aspects of the story, keeping readers interested in both Walker’s investigation and his home life. Though written with a light touch, the novel is gripping when it counts, and includes a very nicely handled twist ending. All in all, Bad Guys makes for a good time. More Zack Walker would be welcomed.” –The Strand Magazine
“Mr. Barclay, a columnist for the Toronto Star, is the master of what might be dubbed the Barclay Effect: that point in a column or novel when a reader, shanghaied by a well-planted gag, is forced to laugh out loud.” –Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal
“Barclay deftly combines mayhem with hilarity, creating a highly entertaining comic thriller with an exasperating hero and a desperate, really peculiar villain.” –Lansing State Journal
“Humor, realistic characters, a jaunty first-person narrative make for an enjoyable read.” –Booklist
“Barclay’s winning second comic caper … includes both long-term setups and well hidden surprises.” –Publishers Weekly
