Book Overview

Praise for Dave Zeltserman: " Pariah will keep you glued to its pages. There are no holds barred anywhere in this wonderful launch into evil. The meek beware . . . be-very-ware." --Charlie Stella "This fusion of hard-boiled and bitter satire is brand new territory for noir and I suspect that [ Pariah ] will be one of the most talked about novels of 2009." --Ed Gorman "The plot of Small Crimes is a thing of beauty." -- The Washington Post Leonard March...

STUNNING END TO A MEMORABLE TRILOGY

KILLER is the final instalment of Zeltserman's "man-out-of-prison" series. SMALL CRIMES and PARIAH take some beating, but KILLER is superb. When once-upon-a-time hit-man, Leonard March, is freed from prison, he's like an old, de-fanged wolf, battle scarred and shunned by the pack. Zeltserman, in this meditation on the mind of a killer, expertly weaves together two time frames: Leonard now, and Leonard in his bloody heyday. KILLER is a measured, compelling, character study that manages to be at once terrifying and strangely moving, as Leonard struggles with alienation, loneliness, and old ghosts. But don't be lulled into expecting a Hollywood ending to this story: this is vintage Zeltserman, and that means there's always a tail. With a sting. Be warned.
