Critics and reviewers are calling Paper Targets "Wonderfully written," "An astonishing novel," "A crime story that also embraces literary foundations," and "Flat-out genius." Enzi meets an enigmatic artist at a party. She gives him a damaged painting and hints at the trouble she is in. Later, Enzi makes a mistake with fatal consequences. "A captivating story about love and greed." Both riveting and literary, Paper Targets is a wild ride of a story about gifted and flawed misfits. With unique, memorable characters, based on the actual fringe events of one of the world's largest criminal frauds. "This book is flat-out genius, the best novel I've read in years." - Martin Clark, best-selling Author of The Plinko Bounce. "A wonderfully written thriller with Big Sky country as a setting." - Kirkus Reviews "An astonishing novel. Highly recommended to everyone, especially those interested in noir, art, a blazing narration, and all of our deeply unsettling subconsciouses. Saroff also seems capable of laying down the perfect sentence on command." - Michael Fitzgerald, author of Radiant Days and founder of Submittable "His tale has something of the spirit of Hemingway stories... his spare prose seems designed to step out of the way but is arresting in itself." - Kirkus Reviews " Readers will be immediately invested in Enzi's fate, and Saroff expertly intensifies the plot through unfolding backstories and quiet tension. Lyrical yet succinct, Saroff's first person narrative is well crafted, granting readers an inside view of Enzi's sentiments." - Publishers Weekly "Wow isn't enough. Just amazing." - Russ Fletcher, MATR "It's brilliantly done and I found it totally spellbinding, never quite knowing how it would finally play out. The piece, taken as a whole, can be seen as one long confession and one hand it's simply a mystery novel but to me it's much more than that, it's a rich piece of literary fiction that just happens to pose a question which isn't answered until the very end. Have I read or listened to anything better this year? I don't think so, this one might just take the top spot. " - Andrew Smith, Goodreads Reviewer "It's rare to find a thriller and crime story that also embraces such literary foundations; but Paper Targets represents art in and of itself." - Midwest Book Review "Thrilling, entertaining, and captivating, author Steve Saroff's Paper Targets is a must-read noir thriller of 2022. The iconic and breathtaking imagery in the author's writing style brought the Montana skies to life wonderfully, and the rich dynamics and balance of solid themes and exhilarating action made this one book I didn't want to put down." - Author Anthony Avina's Blog
