" . . . evokes such paranoid 1970s thrillers as The Parallax View and Six Days of the Condor." (Chicago Sun-Times)

Greetings from a rapidly melting Chicago!

My most recent book, One Nation, Under God, is now available in paperback. If you've been worried about the state of the beleaguered book-publishing industry, buying books is the perfect bailout: unlike your assistance to Wall Street, you'll actually get something in return for your money. Even better, I promise not to give myself a multi-million-dollar bonus at the end of the year.

As always, I urge you to support your neighborhood bookstore. (After-Words, The Book Cellar, and Fact & Fiction are three excellent choices.) If you're one of those unlucky people without a neighborhood bookstore, buy it from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Powell's. But please do buy it--your purchase is a vote of confidence for the continued production of quality Amer ican fiction.

Thanks!

P.S. You should also buy Chris Ayres' hilarious Death by Leisure: A Cautionary Tale (Grove/Atlantic), although I wouldn't blame you if you waited for the paperback. Currently in paperback is Adam Davies' hilarious Mine All Mine (Riverhead).

Upcoming Events

I'm pretty much sticking around the house until the lakes of melted ice dry up.

Recent News

Last October, my short story, "Untitled," was the second runner-up in the Chicago Crime Writers Competition. (When they announced the first runner-up, we all started screaming and jumping up and down.)
