Shortlisted for the Barry Award for Best First Novel 2017 East, a low-level lookout for a Los Angeles drug organisation, loses his watch house in a police raid. So his boss recruits him for a very different job: a road trip - straight down the middle of white, rural America - to assassinate a judge in Wisconsin. Having no choice, East and a crew of untested boys leave the only home they've ever known in a nondescript blue van, with a roll of cash, a map and a gun they shouldn't have. By way of The Wire and in the spirit of Scott Smith's A Simple Plan and Richard Price's Clockers, Dodgers is itself something entirely original: a gripping literary crime novel with a compact cast whose intimate story opens up to become a reflection on the nature of belonging and reinvention. 'One of the greatest literary crime novels you will read in your lifetime'Donald Ray Pollock, author ofKnockemstiffand The Devil All the Time 'Provocative, gripping, and timely, Dodgers is a riveting read that leaves a lasting impression' American Bookseller's Association 'A road movie, a coming-of-age tale, a crime novel of gritty realism and a hugely impressive debut.'Irish Times
