This is his sort of story, and if there were an actor of that type around today, this book could make a confronting and probably prize-winning film...definitely worth the price of admission."- Karen Treanor, New Mystery Reader Magazine" Waist Deep is a hard-hitting story of a flawed hero trying to exorcise his demons. The subject matter explores dark moral territory, it's arguably not horribly shocking compared to certain real life situations taking place today. Further, in the best hardboiled tradition, finding the truth involves unearthing the scum from beneath the veneer of respectability."- Debbi Mack, author of Identity Crisis and Least Wanted"[A]nother intense and very good read that borders on the noir designation. Frank Zafiro often writes of dark things and this is another case of that and therefore the book is not a light read in any sense. It is also yet another case of why Frank Zafiro is building an incredible career and deserves to be on your reading radar."- Kevin Tipple, independent reviewerAbout the AuthorFrank Zafiro is a retired police officer who writes gritty crime fiction from both sides of the badge.
