    About this series

    Best First Novel, CWC Awards for Excellence in Canadian Crime Writing

    "Screams cult classic" --Booklist

    Eddie Vegas made a terrible mistake. Now he has to pay the price.

    After a botched debt collection turned double murder, Eddie splits, desperate to avoid his employer, notorious L.A. crime boss Saul Benedict, and his men (and Eddie's ex-partners), Floyd and Sawyer, as well as the police. Soon he becomes entangled with the clever and beautiful Dakota, a Native American woman fresh in the City of Angels to find her missing friend--someone Eddie might know something about. Meanwhile in Texas, ex-assassin Rufus, seeking vengeance for his murdered brother, takes up his beloved daggers one final time and begins the long drive to L.A. When the bodies begin to mount, Detective Alison Lockley's hunt for the killer becomes increasingly urgent.

    As paths cross, confusion ensues, and no one's entirely sure who's after who. But one thing is clear: They're not all getting out of this alive.

    "A promising new voice in hard-boiled crime fiction. Fans of Elmore Leonard and Jim Thompson will find much to savor." --Kirkus Reviews

    "A new spin on the genre." --San Francisco Book Review

    "Sharp, stylish and well-written. It makes reading fun again." --US Review of Books

    "Impossible to put down." --Kevin Wilson, NYT bestselling author

    "Fast-paced and chock full of interesting characters and chillingly delicious evil." --IndieReader

    "First class neo-noir." --Murder, Mayhem & More

    "Not a single dull moment." --Online Book Club

    "Like Tarantino on the page...rushes at you from page one." --Dietrich Kalteis, author of Under an Outlaw Moon
