Library JournalPick of the Month for November 2017

Crime. Vengeance. Love. Physics.

The infamous Deadbomb Bingo Ray is a high level fixer in the City of Brotherly Love. Hes the man you call when youve crossed the line into hopeless and theres no way back to anywhere.

Three years have passed since Ray burned a hedge fund manager on behalf of a pool of retirees, and now the money man is back for revenge. While Ray unravels the plot and orchestrates some payback of his own, he unwittingly steps into the ultimate high stakes game. Falling in love with the beautiful physicist trapped at the edge of the burn was just bad timing.

When the fuse is finally lit, getting killed isnt high on the list of the worst that could happen in this dark and stylish noir.

Library Journal,Pick of the Month, November 2017 Ray is a Philadelphia fixer and problem solver, who picked up his nickname in Vegas during a crooked card game that involved a grenade. Three years ago, hed thwarted a hedge-fund scheme operated by Tim Cantwell and Anton Brown that would have cheated its retiree investors. Ray continues to mess with Anton and also falls for Abigail, a geek goddess who may wreck his fixer mojo. When Tim comes looking for revenge, things quickly get twisted and nasty. Chapter soundtracks (including songs by Rev. Horton Heat, Nick Cave, the Ventures, King Harvest, Leela James, and more) help to establish the ambiance and set the scenes.VERDICTThe author of the Darby Holland crime novels launches a fast-paced, quick-witted neonoir caper packed with cons and double crosses, larger-than-life characters, and vivid language. Bound to attract fans of Norman Green, Roger Hobbs, and Max Allan Collinss Quarry novels, as well as the gritty works of Stuart MacBride and Pete Dexter.

This evil strut of a book is wildly smart, utterly warped and exultant in its own mad glory.
