Media Reviews
"THE BLACK MARIA, Mark Graham's third novel about Philadelphia police detective Wilton McCleary, reads like the flip side of Gore Vidal's underappreciated novel, 1876....Intricately plotted and replete with historical color, this is a work to reward all of us who enjoyed Graham's first novel, THE KILLING GROUND."
