Wallace Stroby

    Wallace Stroby crée des récits bruts axés sur les personnages qui plongent les lecteurs dans les quartiers distinctifs du New Jersey. Son expérience journalistique lui confère un œil vif pour les détails et une profonde compréhension de la condition humaine, qu'il explore à travers des récits captivants et pleins de suspense. La prose de Stroby se caractérise par sa voix authentique et ses décors atmosphériques, entraînant les lecteurs dans des mondes où l'ambiguïté morale et la résilience durement acquise définissent les parcours des personnages. C'est un maître du noir moderne, alliant observation pointue et puissant élan narratif.

      Career-criminal Crissa Stone never works too close to home, or with the same crew, or rushes a job. These rules have kept her from doing any time. They're the rules her mentor and lover taught her, rules he didn't follow as closely as he should've. Now he's up for parole, and Crissa needs to come up with the money to help grease the wheels. Word is that there's an illegal card game set for less than a week from now. The take? Plenty. Desperate, Crissa slaps a plan together, but when one of her crew starts shooting, she catches the attention of Eddie the Saint. A hit man, Eddie is no less of a pro than Crissa, and he could use the work. One of the most talented writers working in crime fiction today, Wallace Stroby's Cold Shot to the Heart is a tight, propulsive story that will hold readers captive until well after all the crooks have fled the scene.
