註釋"Not Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll, but Sex, Crime and Rock 'n' Roll. Freeman's insider knowledge of the music industry gives this fresh Jersey noir extra heavy metal."-Ethan Iverson, The Bad Plus

"An even cursory glance at what we had so piquantly once called 'newspapers' will show that while truth is stranger than fiction it's not nearly as well written. Freeman's FIFTY FOOT DROP, mixing modalities he knows well-music, metal, Jersey and crime-manages to make one hell of a hardboiled treatise on all of the above. And then some. Freeman's not a pretty man and thank god, neither is his writing."-Eugene S. Robinson, author, A LONG SLOW SCREW and FIGHT, OR EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ASS KICKING BUT WERE AFRAID TO GET YOUR ASS KICKED FOR ASKING

"FIFTY FOOT DROP plunges us into a sinister underworld of shady deals, uneasy alliances, and a big score that goes wrong in all the right ways. Freeman brings a convincing expertise and perceptive eye to both the machinations of the music business and the New Jersey neighborhood of working class immigrants where this engrossing crime story unfolds."-Scott Von Doviak, author, CHARLESGATE CONFIDENTIAL (Hard Case Crime, 2018)

Rock singer Taylor Bailey's career was on the rise-until his tour bus slid off an Ohio highway, badly injuring him and his brother. Now the band is on hiatus, his brother's in the hospital with medical bills mounting, and he's limping around on one leg. So when a former friend and a very sexy bartender ask him to help them rob a local mob boss, he finds himself trading his guitar for a shotgun and running from cops and criminals alike. A FIFTY FOOT DROP can change your whole life.
