Description

Joe the Bouncer's search for a stolen racing pigeon sends him into a warren of assassins in this thrilling caper from David Gordon. Harvard dropout and ex-Special Forces operative Joe Brody is climbing the ranks in the criminal underworld. After successfully executing multiple missions for the various crime syndicates that run New York City, he has come to earn the trust and respect of the city’s most dangerous denizens. Which is why his newest task — retrieving a pet pigeon snatched from a rooftop coop in Brooklyn — has Joe puzzled … until he learns that the bird is valued at close to a million dollars. Joe hatches a plan to sneak into the luxury apartment building where the pigeon is held captive. But the plan takes a deadly turn when he stumbles upon a nest of international war criminals. Fearing that Joe's entry into the building has somehow compromised their nefarious scheme, they put a bounty on his head. In New York, Joe is untouchable, but his new foes come from outside the flock, and he’ll need a wing and a prayer to elude their assassins. Reviewers on David Gordon 'David Gordon brings an outstanding new voice to the contemporary crime novel.' Robert Crais 'A unique and worthwhile series' CrimeReads 'Gordon knows how to write a potboiler.' LA Times 'In the caper tradition popularized by Donald E. Westlake and Lawrence Block, Gordon uses humour to good effect.' Publishers Weekly
