Publishers WeeklyPraise for Tony Knighton"Hard-edged contemporary noir novel with a relentless anti-hero - a thief with no name.

The Crime Fiction Lover"Taut writing, crisp dialogue, non-stop action. What more could you want?" Linwood Barclay, New York Times bestselling author"Hard-edged and suspenseful, with action that feels real and an anti-hero who can keep all the moving parts in his mind at once." Thomas Perry, New York Times bestselling author

When a Philadelphia state senator is arrested for racketeering and held without bail, his ex-girlfriend reveals to a shady, retired cop that there's half-a-million dollars just sitting in his bedroom safe. The cop brings in a professional thief, who rips the safe from the wall and drops it out the window. It's a sweet score - but they're hijacked before they open it. The thief survives and tears through the city, going up against warring gangsters, bent cops, and a cold-blooded assassin to take back what's his - even if it means dying for it."A gripping and fast-paced thriller." Philadelphia Inquirer"A knife sharp piece of Philadelphian noir. Recommended for all fans of fast paced, hard hitting crime fiction." Andrew Nette, Pulp Curry Blog"A wonderful thriller. It oozes grit and swagger and leaves blood all over your hands." Ginger Nuts of Horror Blog"There is a touch of Hemingway and Chandler in the writing. Hard-boiled noir thrillers don't come any better than this." The Toorak Times
