“Here is a book that deserves a place among your favorite Chicago novels. Written with a reporter’s sharp eye and attention to detail and colorful characters, The Kiss of Night brings the city alive in all its good/evil struggles, giving you a story that is vivid and unforgettable.”
—Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune
“Mark Wukas has captured the essence of young reporters fueled by adrenaline and idealism. Their reporting is as unglamorous as it is thankless. Yet while reading The Kiss of Night I found myself yearning for those days when chasing a story was unvarnished and pure. The Kiss of Night is the real thing and makes for a compelling read from start to finish.”
—Ken Paulson, Editor-in-Chief (emeritus), USA Today
“Mark Wukas succeeds in creating sympathetic characters that have exceptional depth. … The detailed descriptions of Chicago give the work a feeling of verisimilitude and paint a vivid picture of the city. … The relationships between the characters remain dynamic, and the story’s mystery elements are well executed throughout. An often-thrilling crime novel that explores questions of loyalty, justice, and morality.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“The Kiss of Night is well-structured, the narrative quickly paced, the characters interesting and entirely believable, and the writing sharp and clean. Mark Wukas has created a narrator whose ethical and worldly coming of age echoes that of many readers. Intelligent, flawed, and increasingly self-critical, the narrator retains our compassion throughout.”
—Robert N. Georgalas, Author of Deep Focus, Nothing Lost, All That Remains, and Unscheduled Stops
“The Kiss of Night is a powerful exploration of why our world is simply not black/white, good/evil but infinite permutations of gray.”
—Wendi Williams, Invest To Elect Illinois
