The best gangster novel I’ve ever read. The writing is first class, and the action is nonstop.
– Stephen King
Juxtaposes shootouts, narrow escapes, vengeance, and justice, against family bonds, loyalty, love, motherhood, and memory, capped off with an ending you won’t see coming.
– Lisa Wingate,
author of Before We Were Yours
This will be the bar to which other historical crime fiction will be measured. Read Die Famous the moment it comes out.

Both big-hearted and thrilling. I loved this perfectly written tommy gun of a novel.

HOW IT HAPPENED Displays First-Rate Style
Bookreporter reviews HOW IT HAPPENED, saying: “Koryta is at the top of his game in HOW IT HAPPENED. His style remains first rate. There’s a description of a Port Hope ne’er-do-well about two-thirds of the way through the book that is only a paragraph long but makes the man in question jump and dance right off the page. That’s top-notch writing, and Koryta, as always, displays his considerable chops throughout the novel.”
