Meet Lennon, a mute Irish getaway driver who has fallen in with the wrong heist team on the wrong day at the wrong bank. Betrayed, his money stolen and his battered carcass left for dead, Lennon is on a one-way mission to find out who is responsible-and to get back his loot. But, the robbery has sent a violent ripple effect through the streets of Philadelphia. And now, a dirty cop, the Russian and Italian mobs, the mayor's hired gun, and a keyboard player in a college rock band maneuver for position as this adrenaline-fueled novel twists and turns its way toward its explosive conclusion.
One thing's for sure: This cast of characters wakes up in a much different world by novel's end, if they wake up at all, in Duane Swierczynski's The Wheelman.
"Duane Swierczynski is one of the best new things to happen to crime fiction in a long time. A kick-ass writer with wicked cool skills and the instincts of a seasoned veteran. Keep your eyes on him. He's going places."
Victor Gischler, Edgar-nominated author of Gun Monkeys
"I canceled a night out and stayed up all night reading. That's how much I loved this book . . . at every turn, I was blindsided. Hilarious and bloody violent."
Ken Bruen, Shamus Award–winning author of The Guards
