There Are No Heroes In This World After fleeing a deadly romance, Blake Ness finds himself on an obscure island off the Gulf Coast. He befriends the island's owner and mayor, a Cuban counter-revolutionary, and takes a job as a bouncer at a local massage parlor. Just when he thinks he's found a home in paradise, he meets a Sarasota land baron who knows his real identity. Blake must choose between paying for his crimes of the past, or committing a new crime he may never escape from... Review: In Cool It Down, Alec Cizak's follow-up to Breaking Glass, Blake Ness wends through a Florida town's web of paranoia and conspiracy. He soon realizes he's addicted to murder, and, like a Jim Thompson character interwoven with one of David Goodis, all he has to do to survive is surrender all he believes...Does it end well? Does anything by Cizak? A stunning novel-Rob Pierce, author of Blood by Choice Just when Florida couldn't get any weirder, Alec Cizak pulls you into Raro Key, a fictional coastal town rife with alligator worship, coffee-sipping spiders, pedophilic preachers, ghosts, and sins from the past, characters whose allegiances shift like shadows on cracked pavement. David Lynch meets Carl Hiassen in this sun-soaked revenge yarn
-Hector Duarte Jr., author of Desperate Times Call In Cool it Down Alec Cizak does what he's always done best--kick back against the prigs of conformity while writing real prose with words that assault you like an iron fist in a silk glove. Cool it Down transcends genres and literary pigeonholes to stand alone and it is a novel that truly deserves to.-Stephen J. Golds, author of Always the Dead About the Author
