R to L (Japanese Style) Boasting furious action, switchback plotting, magnetic characters and dazzling art, Dogs tells the story of four individuals struggling to survive a dystopian urban future by gun and sword and courage and luck. Haine, the "Stray Dog" a cipher of a young man with a mysterious metal collar bolted to his neck and a disturbing talent for mayhem. Badou: a hired gun for petty jobs legal and non, whose reckless facade hides a serious intent. Naoto: a preternaturally skilled swordswoman searching for the assassin who cut down her family and mentor. Mihai: a middle-aged former hitman, trying live a quiet life but haunted by the deaths of his lover and protege. Driven by their ghosts--both dead and alive--and a desire for truth, all are inexorably drawn to the "Underground," the dark and dangerous sector below the city that holds all the secrets--but secrets that can only be had for a price.

Raymond Carver meets Elmore Leonard in this extraordinary collection of contemporary crime writing set in the critically acclaimed Gangsterland universe, a series called "gloriously original" by The New York Times Book Review. With gimlet-eyed cool and razor-sharp wit, these spare, stylish stories from a master of modern crime fiction assemble a world of gangsters and con men, of do-gooders breaking bad and those caught in the crossfire. The uncle of an FBI agent spends his life as sheriff in different cities, living too close to the violent acts of men; a cocktail waitress moves through several desert towns trying to escape the unexplainable loss of an adopted daughter; a drug dealer with a penchant for karaoke meets a talkative lawyer and a silent clown in a Palm Springs bar. Witty, brutal, and fast-paced, these stories expand upon the saga of Chicago hitman-turned-Vegas-rabbi Sal Cupertine--first introduced in Gangsterland and continued in Gangster Nation--while revealing how the line between good and bad is often a mirage.

“The perfect cocktail of well-plotted, good-hearted, murderous fun." —Nina Simon, bestselling author of Mother-Daughter Murder Night THEY'D KILL TO BE WIDOWS. Three best friends turn to murder to collect on their husbands’ life insurance policies… But the husbands have a plan of their own in this darkly funny debut that will delight readers from the first laugh to the final twist. After thirty years of friendship, Pam dreams of her perfect retirement with Nancy, Shalisa, Marlene, and their husbands—until their husbands pool their funds for an investment that goes terribly wrong. Suddenly, their golden years are looking as dreary as their marriages. But when the women discover their husbands have seven-figure life insurance policies, a new dream forms. And this time, they need a hitman. Meanwhile, their husbands are working on their own secret retirement scheme and when things begin to go sideways, they fear it’s backfired. The husbands scramble to stay alive…but soon realize they may not be quick enough to outmaneuver their wives.

Zur Strafe dafür, dass sie eine Abtreibung nicht hat verheimlichen können (und weil sie in ihrem Job zu erfolgreich ist), wird die TV-Serienproduzentin Bobbie Flint in ein von ihrem Boss Marion Meach privatwirtschaftlich betriebenes Hochsicherheitsgefängnis in den Everglades zwangsversetzt – nicht ohne Hintergedanken. Meach hofft darauf, dass Flint aus seinem heruntergekommenen Knast eine Goldgrube machen wird. Dumm nur, dass die „Besserungsanstalt“ außer teils sadistischem, teils inkompetentem Personal lediglich einen defekten elektrischen Stuhl zu bieten hat. Flint muss nehmen, was da ist, und macht sich an die Arbeit … *** Der 8. Zusatzartikel zur Verfassung der Vereinigten Staaten, der den Bundesbehörden verbietet, die Menschenrechte von straffällig gewordenen Personen unangemessen zu beschneiden, hat den folgenden Wortlaut: Es sollen weder übermäßige Kautionen verlangt, noch übermäßige Bußgelder verhängt, noch grausame und ungewöhnliche Bestrafungen angewendet werden. Auszuhandeln, was denn nun „grausam und ungewöhnlich“ (im Original: „cruel and unusual“) sein soll, bleibt dabei jeder Generation mehr oder weniger mündiger Staatsbürgerinnen und Staatsbürger immer wieder aufs Neue überlassen. Kurz vor der Jahrtausendwende haben sich Jamie Delano (Outlaw Nation, 2020 Visions) und Tom Peyer (Legion of Super-Heroes, Bart Simpson) die Frage gestellt, was ihre Zeitgenossinnen und Zeitgenossen wohl „grausam und ungewöhnlich“ finden würden … und was ihnen längst schon als „normal“ durchgehen würde. Herausgekommen bei ihrer Weltbetrachtung ist eine bitterböse, rabenschwarze Farce, die John McCrea (Hitman, The Boys: Herogasm) und Andrew Chiu (Books of Magic, The Apollo 11 Moon Landing) zeichnerisch umgesetzt haben und die von Tatjana Weintraub Wood (Animal Man, Swamp Thing) koloriert worden ist.

'Breathtaking' JEREMY CLARKSON 'Winslow's masterpiece (so far) ... should have a place on every crime freak's bookshelf. Superb' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY _______________________ A brilliant page-turning thriller of power and revenge on the front lines of the drug war. Drug lord Miguel Angel Barrera is head of the Mexican drug federación, responsible for millions of dollars worth of cocaine traffic into the US and the torture and murder of those who stand in its way. His nephew, Adan Barrera, is his worthy successor. Art Keller is a US government operative, so determined to obtain revenge for a murdered colleague that his pursuit of the cartel veers dangerously towards an obsession outside the law. In a brutal world filled with striking characters, from a high class prostitute to an Irish hitman and a charismatic Catholic priest, everyone is in search of some kind of salvation - or damnation... Don Winslow's masterpiece is not only a page-turning thriller but also a rich and compelling novel in the league of James Ellroy or Don DeLillo. _______________________ The Cartel, the blockbuster sequel to The Power of the Dog, is also available.

The sumptuous, propulsive, sun-kissed follow up to the bestselling Snow, from the Booker Prize winning author 'He wanted to know who she was, and why he was convinced he had some unremembered connection with her. It was as simple as that. But he knew it wasn't. It wasn't simple at all.' When Dublin pathologist Quirke glimpses a familiar face while on holiday with his wife, it's hard, at first, to tell whether his imagination is just running away with him. Could she really be who he thinks she is, and have a connection with a crime that nearly brought ruin to an Irish political dynasty? Unable to ignore his instincts, Quirke makes a call back home and Detective St John Strafford is soon dispatched to Spain. But he's not the only one on route: as a terrifying hitman hunts down his prey, they are all set for a brutal showdown. Praise for Snow: 'Superb ... crime fiction for the connoisseur.' The Times 'Outstanding.' Irish Independent 'Exquisite.' Daily Mail 'Hypnotic.' Financial Times 'Compelling.' Sunday Times 'Superb to the last drop.' Independent

What if the deadliest assassin in all of Mexico, a man with dozens of kills to his name, was actually a vacuum repairman in Arizona? Falcon City, Arizona. Jacques Ramirez works at Robotop, the leading home appliance company in the southwest United States. Jacques is efficient, thorough, and discreet. That last one is easy: he's also mute. But everything changes when two members of one of Paso del Rio's largest drug cartels stumble upon Jacques and believe him to be the deadly hitman who betrayed them in the past: the ruthless Ramirez. Could it be that the cartel's legendary clean-up man is really a legendary vacuum cleaner expert? Now that they've found him, the men of the cartel will do everything they can to kill this traitor! Nicolas Petrimaux presents a tribute to the action thrillers of the 1980s and 90s, a brutal narrative with never a dull moment. Gunning for Ramirez is as much a descendant of Friedkin's To Live and Die in L.A. as it is Taratino's Pulp Fiction or Rodriguez's Mexico Trilogy.
