"Ardai has a knack for evoking lost eras in tidy packages; this is, perhaps, a carryover from his day job rebranding stores for buyout firm D.E. Shaw. 'I bring back old things,' he says. His publishing stock-in-trade are bold covers with killer lines: 'She was born bad,' for instance, or 'Killing is a young man’s game.' Storied giants of pulp art, like Robert McGinnis, stepped off museum walls as a favor to Ardai to give the books their bad-beauty face; younger talents, like Glen Orbik, carry on the lurid tradition."
Carl Rosen in New York marks the fiftieth publication in the Hard Case Crime series.
