Review:
"In Cool It Down, Alec Cizaks follow-up to Breaking Glass, Blake Ness wends through a Florida towns web of paranoia and conspiracy. He soon realizes hes addicted to murder, and, like a Jim Thompson character interwoven with one of David Goodis, all he has to do to survive is surrender all he believes...Does it end well? Does anything by Cizak? A stunning novel"Rob Pierce, author of Blood by Choice
"Just when Florida couldn't get any weirder, Alec Cizak pulls you into Raro Key, a fictional coastal town rife with alligator worship, coffee-sipping spiders, pedophilic preachers, ghosts, and sins from the past, characters whose allegiances shift like shadows on cracked pavement. David Lynch meets Carl Hiassen in this sun-soaked revenge yarn"
Hector Duarte Jr., author of Desperate Times Call
In Cool it Down Alec Cizak does what hes always done best--kick back against the prigs of conformity while writing real prose with words that assault you like an iron fist in a silk glove. Cool it Down transcends genres and literary pigeonholes to stand alone and it is a novel that truly deserves to.Stephen J. Golds, author of Always the Dead
