Keith Gilman has been a cop in the Philadelphia area for over fifteen years. He lives in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania.
"Narrated in a wise-old-guy tone that is matched by Lou's knack for getting under people's skin, this debut takes us on a roller-coaster ride of surprises. This winner of the Minotaur Books/PWA Best First Private Eye Novel competition is essential for fans of the genre." --Library Journal "Gilman's debut keeps the tension strong while showing that Philadelphia isn't just about brotherly love." --Kirkus Reviews "Gilman has a cop's eye for detail and a hardboiled humor that can't be faked. A palpable evil fills the pages of Father's Day that is both terrifying and relentless. Gilman writes sharply. His Philadelphia is worth a visit." --William Lashner, New York Times bestselling author of Blood and Bone "The best fiction has this feeling that someone's just leaned close to whisper in our ear: 'I've something important to tell you.' Keith Gilman's debut novel has, and sustains, that quality from the first page. You know right away that you're in the hands of a natural and very fine storyteller. Authenticity, voice, the sense of lives beyond the page, all those things we crave as readers and for which we work so hard as writers, tossing the bones, hoping the magic will work--all are solidly, soundly in place." --James Sallis, author of Drive and the Lew Griffin series
