THE BLADE ITSELF

Description:

THE BLADE ITSELF
by Marcus Sakey
St. Martin’s Minotaur 2007 With raves from every notable crime writer in the business, you've either heard about this first novel or you've been in solitary confinement. Danny Carter's contented, quintessential suburban life collides with a crunch when he runs into his old burgling buddy Evan, who is newly released from prison with a really nasty jones for making Danny's life miserable. Evan is a splendidly villainous character; he steals every scene. It's a creepy pleasure watching him make Danny squirm. Sakey's debut crime novel asks, "How far would you go to protect everything you love?" and that's exactly what you'll find out. This debut bodes very well for Sakey's future - which is guaranteed if his next novel is anywhere half as good as Blade. Collectors and readers for pleasure alike should snap this up.
