Synopsis

Crime. Vengeance. Love. Physics.The infamous Deadbomb Bingo Ray is a high-level fixer in the City of Brotherly Love. He’s the man you call when you’ve crossed the line into hopeless and there’s no way back to anywhere.Three years have passed since Ray burned a hedge fund manager on behalf of a pool of retirees, and now the money man is back for revenge. While Ray unravels the plot and orchestrates some payback of his own, he unwittingly steps into the ultimate high stakes game. Falling in love with the beautiful physicist trapped at the edge of the burn was just bad timing.When the fuse is finally lit, getting killed isn’t high on the list of the worst that could happen in this dark and stylish noir.

Goodreads review by Joseph on November 16, 2017

Quotes

“This evil strut of a book is wildly smart, utterly warped, and exultant in its own mad glory.” Warren Ellis, New York Times bestselling author

“Inventive and comic…A rare treat.” Publisher’s Weekly

“A fast-paced, quick-witted neo-noir caper packed with cons and double crosses, larger-than-life characters, and vivid language.” Library Journal

“Narrator Johnny Heller cops a delightful and sidesplitting ‘wise guy’ attitude as the infamous Philadelphia fixer Deadbomb Bingo Ray…Heller navigates this stylish noir with ultimate vocal skill. Deadbomb Bingo Ray lives up to his name as the game reaches an explosive climax. Fans of the genre will love Ray, and Heller is drop-dead great in this enjoyable romp.” AudioFile

“Hard-boiled, hilarious, and as serious as a straight razor…More good ideas, great jokes, and splendid writing on one page than most books have in a full chapter. Read it.” Tim Hallinan, author of the Simeon Grist, Poke Rafferty, and Junior Bender series

“Deadbomb Bingo Ray is a shot of…muscle-noir…with a bounce and a turn of phrase that elevates it above the pack. If this guy’s under your radar, recalibrate!” Sean Doolittle, author of The Cleanup and Lake Country
