Supermax: The Max and Angela Trilogy

Beschreibung

Three books in one, Supermax is a pitch-black crime comedy from two of the hottest thriller writers on either side of the Atlantic. These newly collected cult novels are a bloody, bawdy odyssey of drug dealing, adultery, and murder for fans of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, and Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho. THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS CRIME STORY EVER TOLD - FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ONE VOLUME! When a small-time businessman who's a legend in his own mind (that would be Max) hatches a plan with his sexpot secretary (that's Angela) to murder his wife and live happily ever after, you might think everything would go smoothly - but Max and Angela are in for the ride of their lives, as an escalating series of bad decisions and worse luck plunges them into a tsunami of crime and depravity featuring IRA hitmen, an aspiring serial killer, a wheelchair-bound blackmailer, trigger-happy drug dealers, and the warring factions in one of the world's deadliest prisons. Award-winning authors Ken Bruen (JACK TAYLOR) and Jason Starr (THE NEXT TIME I DIE) set out to write the wildest crime saga of all time, and the three novels that resulted - originally published as BUST, SLIDE, and THE MAX - earned rave reviews and nominations for the Barry and Anthony Awards. Long unavailable in their original print editions, these cult classics are now collected for the first time ever in a single volume, bringing Max and Angela's high-octane odyssey back to blow the minds of a new generation of readers.
