WARNING! THIS MAY BE THE MOST SHOCKING BOOK YOU EVER READ!
Max Fisher used to run a computer company; Angela Petrakos was his assistant and mistress. But that was last year.

What do you think?
From the evil geniuses who brought you Bust comes a roller-coaster ride of suspense, mayhem and vicious fun that’ll make you reluctant ever to open your mail again.
Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Ken Bruen was nominated for nearly every major award in the mystery field (and won the Shamus Award) for his book The Guards, the first in his series about Jack Taylor and his first book to be published in the United States. In addition to his work as a novelist, Bruen has a Ph.D. in metaphysics and spent 25 years as a teacher in Africa, Japan, Southeast Asia, and South America.
