Hard-hitting crime fiction from the author of Tin Men: "Fans of Charlie Huston and Chuck Palahniuk will probably enjoy Darwin''s Nightmare" (Sacramento Book Review). Wilson spent his entire life under the radar. Few people knew who he was or how to find him. Only two people even knew what he really did—working jobs for one very bad man, illegal jobs no one could ever know about. Wilson was invisible—until the day he crossed the line and risked everything to save the last connection to humanity he had, earning the hatred of a vengeful mob boss, a man who claimed he was Charles Darwin''s worst nightmare. Moving even deeper into the underworld of Hamilton, Ontario, he became a ghost in the city—until one day he took on what seemed like a simple job. Steal a bag from the airport and hand it off. No one said what was in the bag, and no one mentioned who the real owners were or what they would do to get it back. But the bag would set into motion a violent chain of events from which no one will escape untouched . . . "A very good series." —Booklist "Merciless but honest about being monstrous, Wilson is worthy to stand next to Loren Estleman''s Peter Macklin and Donald Westlake''s Parker." —Publishers Weekly

"Wilson is worthy to stand next to Loren Estleman''s Peter Macklin and Donald Westlake''s Parker" (Publishers Weekly). Wilson has tried to put his criminal past behind him—but now a random car accident has interfered with his plans and pushed him back in the crosshairs. Dirty cops have gotten their hooks in him and want to use him as bait, telling him the only way to stay out of cuffs is to put someone worse in them. Knowing that justice isn''t blind in the city, Wilson picks a fight with the Russian mob to lure both the corrupt cops and brutal robbers into a trap, in a desperate attempt to scavenge his freedom again . . . "A very good series." —Booklist
