Very Bad Men




Raymond Chandler meets the Coen brothers - with a dash of Harlan Coben - in a smart, funny, multi-layered and tightly plotted murder mystery

Anthony Lark has a list of names:
Terry Dawtrey
Sutton Bell
Henry Kormoran

He is hunting them down, and he won't stop until every one of them is dead.

But this is a killer with a conscience and crime editor David Loogan is about to find out that his latest manuscript is no work of fiction but a serial killer's confession of what he's done - or is about to do - to some very bad men...

Praise for Very Bad Men

A riveting crime novel . . . Relentless pacing, a wry sense of humor, and an engaging protagonist add up to another winner for Dolan

Publishers Weekly

A second mind-bending case for David Loogan that begins just as simply and ominously and takes the reader on just as wild a journey . . . Dolan mixes his pitches with an ace's judgment . . . The rare crime novel with something for everyone who reads crime fiction

Kirkus

Smooth and appealing . . . a twist-filled adventure . . . the characters in this engaging work are full of surprises

The Wall Street Journal

Dolan makes sure that both the characters and dialogue stay rough around the edges, just like the scenery of northern Michigan, giving Very Bad Men a satisfyingly realist bite
