Winner of the Anthony Award for Best Paperback Original.
From the internationally bestselling author of Fake I.D. and The Follower comes a classic New York noir thriller.
Times are tough. They're about to get worse.
David Miller is a journalist stuck at a second-rate financial magazine. He hates his boss, resents supporting his girlfriend's partying lifestyle, and is still reeling from the death of his sister. He's already at the breaking point-then he makes one small mistake.
After losing his wallet in a Midtown bar, David finds himself blackmailed by junkies, lying to his family and friends, and stumbling into a criminal nightmare he barely understands. As desperation mounts, David is pulled deeper into a twisted web of betrayal, addiction, and moral compromise-one wrong decision after another, each more dangerous than the last.
Set in the underbelly of New York City, Twisted City is a dark psychological crime novel about grief, guilt, and the slow erosion of decency, told with Jason Starr's trademark intensity, razor-sharp dialogue, and relentless momentum.
This edition includes a new introduction by Eisner Award-winning writer Ed Brubaker (Criminal, Fatale) and bonus chapters from Starr's Barry Award-winning novel Tough Luck and his novel Hard Feelings.
PRAISE FOR JASON STARR AND TWISTED CITY
Jason Starr is the real deal.
- Laura Lippman
Jason Starr has the New York sound-energy, dialogue that's right on the beat.
- Elmore Leonard
A slick noir novel... Starr is such a polished writer that once you start reading it's painful to tear yourself away.
- John Freeman, Time Out New York
