Gripping crime thrillers from the New York Timesâbestselling author of The Intruder and Proving Groundâ"Nobody writing suspense novels does it as well" (James Patterson).
Praised by everyone from Stephen King and James Patterson to Dennis Lehane and James Ellroy, New York Timesâbestselling author Peter Blauner has proven himself a master of the crime thriller. In the three novels collected hereâincluding Blauner's Edgar Awardâwinning debutâthe former journalist delivers breathtaking suspense alongside provocative questions of morality and ethics.
Slow Motion Riot: Blauner's Edgar Awardâwinning first novel is "a thriller with a conscience" (Entertainment Weekly). That conscience belongs to probation officer Steven Baum, who still hopes to make a difference in a city plagued by drugs, murders, and corruption. But his newest charge is about to challenge him to his core. Darryl King is not just a small-time drug dealerâhe's a psychopathic cop-killer.
"Harrowing." âThe Washington Post
"Exceptionally well done." âAndrew Vachss
Casino Moon: Blauner's story of the son of an Atlantic City mobster is "a gritty novel with integrity and style" (James Patterson). Anthony Russo's scheme for staying out of the family crime business is to manage a has-been boxer's comeback. But it's Russo who ultimately takes the fall, as he discovers it's not so easy to escape the sins of his father.
"You could cut a lip on his dialogue." âThe New York Times
"This book has it all . . . Blauner is . . . brilliant." âJames Ellroy
Man of the Hour: When high school English teacher David Fitzgerald rescues a student after a terrorist bomb explosion on a school bus, he is lauded as a heroâuntil an ambitious reporter raises suspicions about Fitzgerald's involvement and he finds himself hounded by the media and under investigation by the police.
"A remarkable achievementâI loved it and couldn't put it down." âStephen King
"As impressive for its realism as for its suspense." âPublishers Weekly
