Like Ed Bunker before him, Les Edgerton knows of what he writes, and he writes it damn well. Jake's story is pure noir: out of prison, he's married, has a business he's starting, and everything looks great until it all turns to shit when his cellie comes asking to have a favor repaid. And as you'd expect, it keeps getting worse. And worse. And always believable, but even worse! With Jake we're not given a hero who always makes the right decision. Driven by mortal fear of "The Bitch," or life imprisonment as a "Habitual offender," he is forced into more and more horrible dilemmas as his pregnant wife and criminal past collide in a scheme to rob a diamond merchant. Great reading with characters who pop off the page with a realism I can confirm. A dozen years at the port, working with shady jewelers and growing up in a town peppered with loudmouth small-time mobsters, this story is the real deal and a gripping read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Ex-con Jake Bishop is several years past his second stint in prison and has completely reformed. He's married, expecting a child, and preparing to open his own hair salon. But then an old cellmate re-enters his life begging for a favor: to help him with a burglary. Forced by his code of ethics to perform the crime, Jake's once idyllic life quickly plunges into an abyss. Jake soon realizes that there is only one way out of this purgatory . . . and it may rupture his soul beyond repair. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

After reading and loving THE RAPIST, I was beyond excited to dig into this book. THE BITCH is an uncomfortable read, and I haven’t encountered that in a while. The pacing is excellent and the writing is almost flawless in my opinion. The care that Edgerton has obviously taken with his character development and plotting can’t be described. I highly recommend THE BITCH. The story and its players will stay with you long after you reach THE END.
