A fugitive framed for murder gets a new face and a new life from a mysterious foreigner. So why are the cops still after him?
'The most original American novelist of crime and suspense' STEPHEN KING
A nationwide manhunt is underway for John Shannon, a petty criminal framed for murder. But he's convinced he won't get caught. He's hiding in the ruins of a city destroyed by a terrible flood, and, thanks to a mysterious foreigner calling himself the Identity Man, he has a new face, new papers, and a new life.
But the city is crawling with corruption. Crooked politicians, gangsters and dirty cops are everywhere, and for some reason Shannon doesn't understand, all of them want him dead.
John Shannon has run out of second chances, and now he's running out of time. Moving through the darkness in the burnt-out shambles of a dirty town, he must ferret out the secret of his new life, before he is left with no life at all.
In Andrew Klavan's deft hands, we get a brilliant, nail-biting, rollercoaster of a novel that grips tight as the restraints on an electric chair. * VAL McDERMID *
Klavan is one of my drop-everything-and-read authors. * GREGG HURWITZ *
Powerful and dark. A plot-twisting, nail-biting noir that defines edge-of-the-chair suspense * FAYE KELLERMAN *
As shamelessly thrilling as a rollercoaster * Observer *
Andrew Klavan is impressive. Coolly detached, immensely detailed and totally convincing. Every character is brought to life. * Sunday Telegraph *
Time flies when you're having fun, waiting to die, or reading Andrew Klavan. Nerve-plucking suspense. * New York Times *
