Reviews
The Outsider is a smart and compelling crime novel, and Ash Rashid is a tough yet tender-hearted hero. Chris Culver is a daring new voice in crime fiction. Highly recommended
Ultimately, the reason to come to this book and stay is Rashid . . . His navigation through the system - and his own heart - is ultimately what makes The Outsider such a joy to read . . . This and future volumes should be snapped up as quickly as the author can write them
What elevates and sets THE OUTSIDER apart from so many other mystery novels out there is the intriguing Muslim-American detective Ash Rashid and the heartland Indianapolis location - both gutsy choices. Chris Culver is a writer to watch for years to come.
