The author of Blitz and the author of the Jesse Stone novels collaborate on a "rough and profane read" about two childhood friends who become criminals (Daniel Woodrell).
Nick's Irish-American father, a Brooklyn rent-a-cop working security in the World Trade Center's North Tower, named him after a Hemingway hero. The old man must have been expecting a different kind of kid. Because, like the R&B song says, Nick was born under a bad sign. As aimless as a stray bullet, his only constants are 'Nam movies, pulp novels, and an unquestioning devotion to his childhood friend, Todd, a Jewish New York con artist with connections to the Boston mob.
When Todd inducts Nick into his world of petty crime, it starts with reckless fun—scoring weed, low-level stings, and burglary. But the deeper they sink into the world of the syndicate, the more they realize how unknowable a friend can be, and how unprepared they are to rescue themselves, and their souls, from the gutter.
Alternately telling this "brutally poetic" story from the perspectives of Nick and Todd, award-winning "noir masters" Ken Bruen and Reed Farrel Colemen "shine, dropping in-jokes, experimenting and displaying all the literary chops that have made their novels such cult favorites among mystery fans" (Publishers Weekly).
