“Criminals at Large” NY Times Book Review

© July 12 1970

Allen J. Hubin

“..full marks for memorable divergence from the beaten suspense trail. The author has created a microcosm of shredded humanity in a New York rooming house, a black-and-white mélange of buried hopes and hopeless dreams...the horrors of race and deprivation and pointless death and madness reflect on all humanity. They become through the manipulations of the manipulated swindler, very personal indeed.”
