paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | "We are such fragile creatures." The men, women and children in these stories will all be pushed to the breaking point, some beyond. A failed boxer turned mob enforcer in Boston looks back on a life filled with pain, inflicted and endured. In Los Angeles, a recovering heroin addict revisits an old haunt on a twisted mission of mercy. Luck has run out for a crooked politician in Hartford who tries to cash in his chips before leaving town. Crazy visits a young boy in the form of a jilted actress who takes him on a doomed road trip he'll never forget. A little girl who doesn't want to lose her parents will commit a crime for all the right reasons. Heroes, villains and victims. The lives Miner examines are haunted by pain and violence. They are all trying to find redemption. A few will succeed, but at a terrible price. All of them will face the consequences of their bad decisions as pipers are paid and chickens come home to roost. The lessons in these pages are learned the very hard way. Throughout, Miner captures the savage beauty of these dark tales with spare poetic prose. Praise for THE HURT BUSINESS: "Mike Miner's short stories hit like a heavyweight's body shots. So buy this book, and tighten your abs. Or go buy Eat, Pray, Love and shut the f**k up." -Todd Robinson, author of The Hard Bounce and Rough Trade "Mike Miner is a dissector of the human soul, and this piercing collection reminds us that the way people hurt each other and the way people love each other are inextricably linked." -Scott Adlerberg, author of Jack Waters and Graveyard Love.

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Tommy Shakes is a career criminal, and not a very good one. He earned his name as a heroin addict. Now he's just a drunk, drinking so much that he spends much of his time in bathrooms, exploding from one end or the other. He's in a marriage he wants to salvage. He convinces himself that his wife will stay with him if he can bring home enough money. She tells him that won't do it, but Tommy gets a crack at a big heist and decides to pull the job. The job is ripping off a popular restaurant that runs an illegal sports book in back. When it turns out that one of the security guys works for a local gangster, Joey Lee, Tommy figures there's enough money that it's worth the risk. They pull the robbery but one member of Tommy's crew gets gun happy and it turns into a bloodbath, which includes killing Lee's man. Now they're wanted for murder, and the law is the least of their problems. Praise for TOMMY SHAKES: "With his pitch-perfect ear for dialogue, his knack for crisp pacing, and his unerring eye for what might be called the milieu of functional dissolution, Rob Pierce has revealed himself in story after story as a poet of the luckless, the bard of the misbegotten. In the hero of his latest and best, Tommy Shakes, he has found his Frankie Machine." -David Corbett, award-winning author of The Long-Lost Love Letters of Doc Holliday "Tight as a drum, vicious as a pitbull. I don't remember the last time I read something that scratched the scuzzy itch of noir as well as Tommy Shakes. Just, maybe don't read it with a full stomach." -Rob Hart, author of the Ash McKenna series "When you pick up Tommy Shakes, make sure you have nothing to do, because you're not going to want to put this one down. Rob Pierce at the tip-top of his game. Watch out, y'all." -Eryk Pruitt, author of What We Reckon "When I was in rehab, a psyche ward in Boston, I read the book Crime Novels: American Noir of the '50s. Willeford, Goodis, Thompson, Highsmith, and Himes. Had it all. Wretchedness, duplicity, alcoholism, and hopelessness. Tommy Shakes by Rob Pierce would've slotted in there perfectly. Nobody does grim and grave better." -Joe Clifford, author of Junkie Love and the Jay Porter Thriller Series "Rob Pierce writes the downtrodden like Rodin casts bronze, and Tommy Shakes is his masterpiece." -Benjamin Whitmer, author of Cry Father and Pike "If you like the kind of noir that makes you want to break out the hand sanitizer, Rob Pierce is the King-and the King does not disappoint with Tommy Shakes. Hard and mean and in your face like noir ought to be." -Todd Robinson, author of The Hard Bounce and Rough Trade "Pure noir prose. Dark, disturbing, devastating. A journey through Pierce's Oakland is a hellish thrill-ride. Or thrilling hell-ride." -Tom Pitts, author of 101 and American Static "Tommy can't get a break, but it's not like he's out to give himself one. This book is as relentless as it is bleak, yet oddly inspiring. You won't just root for an underdog, you'll root for collapse!" -Nick Mamatas, author of I Am Sabbath and Providence.

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Joe Campion is the kind of teacher any child would want for their class. He's also the kind of teacher who never turns down a drink, a smoke or a lay. When Joe finds out some of his students are suffering abuse, he doesn't trust the system to take care of it. His impulsive nature, dedication to his pupils and love of women lead him on a long, strange and bloody trip. Praise for IN LOCO PARENTIS: "In Loco Parentis is terrific, start to finish." -Charlie Stella, author of Tommy Red "Beautiful, painful and excruciatingly brilliant writing." -McDroll, crime fiction author "A unique voice that sets the writing head and shoulders above and apart." -Anonymous-9, author of Hard Bite and Bite Harder "The writing is beautiful and spare and by the end I felt a cathartic relief. This story is a roller coaster ride of emotion, but a ride well worth taking." -Mike Miner, author of Hurt Hawks.
