Inhaltsangabe

"Lights Out is a fast, furious page-turner. This book is a huge treat."---Jeffery Deaver, author of The Cold Moon: A Lincoln Rhyme Novel

From Barry and Anthony Award-winning author Jason Starr comes a story of two friends divided by chance and reunited during a long Brooklyn weekend that will change both of their lives forever. Ryan Rossetti and Jake Thomas were the two Major League-bound rivals on their high school baseball team, heading straight into history as the first two of Canarsie's favorite sons to make it out and make it big. Until Ryan hurt his pitching arm and landed a ten-dollar-an-hour life as a house painter. Lucky Jake made it all the way, and he and his ten-million-dollar signing bonus are heading back for a publicity-motivated homecoming weekend that has all of Brooklyn waiting to explode in celebration.

But he's got a nasty surprise in store: Ryan is involved in an intense, addictive relationship with Jake's fiancée Christina, who now faces a choice between love in a Brooklyn tenement or a heartless marriage on Easy Street. Neither man, nor the woman who now stands between them, has any idea what's about to play out in the streets they once all called home. Lights Out is vintage Jason Starr, a razor-sharp crime novel that brilliantly combines biting social satire, explosive suspense, and honest, revealing human drama.

Praise for Jason Starr and Lights Out

"Lights Out has the New York sound, the energy, dialogue that's on the beat . Read it and you'll go hunting for Jason Starr's other books, I promise." Elmore Leonard, author of The Hot Kid

"Jason Starr is the real deal in a world where a lot of people are faking it, a fearless, pitiless writer. The result is a compelling, fierce body of work by a prodigious talent." Laura Lippman, author of To the Power of Three

"Jason Starr is hypnotically good---if you miss him, you're missing some of the best new writing there is." Lee Child, author of One Shot: A Jack Reacher Novel

"Jason Starr is a leader in the new noir movement." George Pelecanos, author of Drama City

"Lights Out is compulsively readable, sidesplittingly funny and absolutely merciless. . . . Starr's fresh take on our flawed human condition may bring howls of outrage but in the tradition of the great satirists, you can't stop reading." Denise Hamilton, author of Prisoner of Memory
