I totally don't blame Jim Thompson, or his publishers, from showcasing his writing partner's kind words on the covers of pretty much every single edition of his masterful neo-noir novel of police brutality that's ever been published. If I didn't agree with Stan about the quality of said work, I'd almost be tempted to think he was going overboard in his praise to make up for some former, professional slight (as in, cheating Thompson out of his proper writing credit on The Killing and Paths of Glory).
