“A Real-Life Thriller”

- The Boston Globe

"Thrilling, bold, and beautifully written, Vodka Shot, Pickle Chaser takes us on a journey into a strange and dangerous world, a place so foreboding and alive and treacherous and real that one cannot help, as David Kalis did, to find his soul there."

Robert Kurson, bestselling author

“Well-written and absorbing…

Although small in stature, Kalis is big in chutzpah”

Kirkus Reviews

"David Kalis' wonderfully compelling memoir, Vodka Shot, Pickle Chaser, has all the attributes of storytelling at its best: masterful suspense and an engaging, voice-driven narrative that pulls us into the heart of an exotic adventure."

Laurie Baker, author
