***** Starred Review! "The third entry in the Gilbert series is devilishly plotted and populated with carefully drawn, motivated suspects. The whole is superbly anchored by Gilbert, a decent hard-working family man who forges ahead despite the possibility that all he holds close may soon collapse around him. A fine, fine effort." Booklist
"OLD SCORES is an excellent police procedural, and Barry Gilbert is a human and believable cop." Peter Robinson, award-winning author of the Inspector Banks mystery series
"Third in a satisfying series." Library Journal
"A neatly turned presentation of the classic too-close-to-home scenario, with a particular flair for bringing each of Glen Boyd's sorely used victims to life." Kirkus Reviews
"Soon Barry Gilbert will be to Toronto what Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch is to Los Angeles ... This series has a good chance to survive and even thrive. In OLD SCORES, Mackay has concocted a plot that is bound to hold his readers, and in Gilbert, he has invented a hero certain to elicit sympathy. As a bonus, Mackay has the knack of drawing his readers into moral dilemmas faced by his characters ... OLD SCORES should prove to be a stepping stone to greater success for Mackay."
