Review:

Advance praise for" The Ethical Assassin"
"Gripping entertainment from the opening pages-a terrific read with the page-turning energy of a first-rate thriller, but also far more than that. David Liss has written a genre-bender with more than its share of white-knuckle suspense, vivid characters, and surprising humor."
-Joseph Finder, author of Company Man
"Hilarious, poignant, and laced with paranoia, The Ethical Assassin reads like a Hardy Boys mystery on acid. David Liss pulls out all the stops in this Homeric coming-of-age tale. A vibrant and sweaty page-turner, this book explodes with fresh, memorable characters and a soundtrack I'd like to own."
-Mark Haskell Smith, author of Moist and Delicious
"Hypnotic and addictive storytelling."
-Lee Child, author of One Shot
"Imagine David Lynch's bizarre masterpiece Blue Velvet, scripted by Edna Buchanan and Carl Hiaasen. It's a blast."
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
