Шестидесятилетний Фрэнк Макьяно – уважаемый человек в калифорнийском городе Сан-Диего. Он надежный деловой партнер, любящий отец, нежный любовник и даже в качестве экс-супруга заботлив и тактичен. Однако в молодости он был грозным киллером по прозвищу Фрэнки Машина. Фрэнк давно расстался с мафией и еще недавно надеялся, что навсегда. Но однажды он не смог отказать в услуге своему бывшему боссу, и это привело его в смертельную ловушку. Чтобы спастись, Фрэнк должен быстро понять, кому и зачем понадобилось его убить. Проблема в том, что список кандидатов не многим меньше местной телефонной книги, а время не терпит.

Героине романа «Полночные воспоминания» — очаровательной молодой женщине — лишь благодаря счастливой случайности удается не стать жертвой кровавого убийства.

Главные герои книги — Игроки, и не только в прямом смысле этого слова. Вся их жизнь — погоня за удачей, большая Игра, ставки в которой невероятно высоки: счастье, дружба, любовь. И хотя внешне их судьба складывается прекрасно: Калли, мелкий делец и мошенник, становится одной из ключевых фигур игорного бизнеса, Мерлин, молодой и не слишком удачливый писатель, выбивается в литературную элиту и уезжает в Голливуд, — это не приносит им радости. Удача — партнер ненадежный. За свою благосклонность она берет плату сторицей. И никому еще не удавалось избежать окончательного расчета…

CONFIDENCE GIRL comprises three interlinked novellas, which together create a stunning, novel-length portrait of Blake Crouch’s all-time favorite creation, Letty Dobesh. # THE PAIN OF OTHERS - Letty Dobesh, a gorgeous, degenerate thief, is fresh out of the clink and back to her old tricks—in this case, burglarizing suites at a luxury hotel in Asheville, North Carolina. But when she’s surprised by returning guests on her last room of the day, she’s forced to hide in the closet to avoid getting caught, and inadvertently overhears a hitman being contracted to murder the wife of a wealthy lawyer. # SUNSET KEY - Letty Dobesh is coming off a bender and hasn’t had a job in months when she gets a very enticing offer. John Fitch, the ultrawealthy CEO of a major energy company, has recently been convicted of securities fraud. In four days he must report to a federal prison, where he will almost certainly spend the rest of his life. Fitch wants a female companion for his last night of freedom. But Letty is no high-priced call girl, and this gig isn’t about sex. The plan is to steal an original Van Gogh from Fitch’s island retreat. A petty thief by trade, Letty has never had a shot at this kind of payout. It’s certainly dangerous, but the money will set her up for life and allow her to regain custody of her young son. Besides, it’s stealing from a very bad guy. If all goes well, she’ll be on Easy Street but in Letty’s life, all seldom goes well. # GRAB - Letty Dobesh: thief, junkie, pick-pocket, felon. But now, for the first time in ages, she’s also clean and sober, just out of rehab, and on a cross-country trip to reunite with her estranged little boy. Enter psychotic mercenary Isaiah Brown with a proposal that scratches at her oldest itch, something Letty has dreamed of all her life—the ultimate Vegas score. An ingenious plan to take down a casino that might actually work. All that’s standing between Letty and an inconceivable pile of money is the pick-pocket of a lifetime. One risky, impossible grab. Pull it off, and retire. But mess things up, and Letty Dobesh will lose everything she holds dear, including her life.

Seven years ago, suspense novelist Andrew Thomas's life was shattered when he was framed for a series of murders. The killer's victims were unearthed on Andrew's lakefront property, and since he was wanted by the FBI, Andrew had no choice but to flee and to create a new identity. Andrew does just that in a cabin tucked away in the remote wilderness near Haines Junction, Yukon. His only link to society is by e-mail, through which he learns that all the people he ever loved are being stalked and murdered. Culminating in the spooky and secluded Outer Banks of North Carolina, the paths of Andrew Thomas, a psychotic named Luther Kite, and a young female detective collide.

Highest possible recommendation. BOOKREPORTER Crouch's story has much going for it, as does his considerable skill as an author. The story grips and propels the reader, while Crouch makes the ride hypnotic with beautiful Carolina moons over tide-smoothed beaches.

Leave the lights on; Luther may be out there. BOOKLIST When the story moves to the foggy, desolate Outer Banks, Crouch is at his terrifying best. You can feel the cold mist on your skin and see the creepy shadows barely illuminated by a distant cabin's flickering light. A great horror novel takes you to a place so scary and vivid as to make you thankful you are not actually there, and Crouch does this well. DENVER POST This is a new millennium, and Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates and Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter have to be outdone. Crouch comes close.
