"Money Shot is a stunner, careening along with a wild, propulsive energy and a deliciously incendiary spirit. Laced with bravado and loaded up with knockabout charm, Christa Faust's Hard Case debut is the literary equivalent of a gasoline cocktail."
--Megan Abbott

"An instant pulp classic."
--Rolling Stone

"I was sucked into the tight, juicy Money Shot, from the ripping car trunk start to the hard-pumping climax. This novel is so convincing that you want to believe Faust has been an oversexed, naked killing machine, at least once."
--Vicki Hendricks

"Money Shot is smart, stylish, insightful, fast-paced pulp fiction with razor-sharp humor and a kick-ass heroine. Christa Faust is a super crime writer."
--Jason Starr

"Money Shot makes most crime novels seem about as exciting as the missionary position on a Tuesday night. The results are stunning."
--Duane Swierczynski

"Wonderfully lurid, with attitude to spare and a genuine affection for the best of hardboiled traditions. Christa Faust is THE business."
--Maxim Jakubowski
