Jack Clark was nominated for the Shamus Award for his novel starring private eye Nick Acropolis, Westerfield’s Chain. Nobody’s Angel, the author's first novel, was originally self-published in an edition of only 500 copies that the author sold for five dollars apiece to passengers in the Chicago taxi he drove for a living.
"The Washington Post writes, ""NOBODY'S ANGEL is a gem... it’s just about perfect."" Chicago Sun-Times on NOBODY’S ANGEL: ""Heartbreaking... captivating... each page turn feels like real, authentic Chicago."" Booklist on NOBODY’S ANGEL: ""The cynical, melancholy cabbie point of view is perfect for this kind of neon-lit, noir-tinged, saxophone-scored prose poem, and Clark hits all the right notes."" Publishers Weekly on NOBODY’S ANGEL: ""[A] slim, sparse, and heartbreaking novel."""
