"Combining a journalist's knowledge of shady dealing with a lyricist's ear for dialogue, THROWAWAY GIRL is a gritty, gripping, and altogether great novel. This is the real Chicago, rendered by a man who knows every dark corner. David Heinzmann is a stone pro." –New York Times bestselling author Marcus Sakey
"Heinzmann “knows well the city's streets and the darker characters who prowl them. He now joins the ranks of Chicago finest, and by that I mean its finest crime writers." - Rick Kogan, legendary Chicago journalist, co-author of Everybody Pays, and host of "The Sunday Papers" on WGN-AM
