PRAISE FOR THE BOUNCER:
'Clever plotting and a light-hearted tone add charm to this lively caper despite its multiple violent deaths ... Lots of fun' Sunday Times.
'Fast, funny and tough, David Gordon's The Bouncer will toss you over his shoulder like King Kong and carry you away' Max Allan Collins, author of Road to Perdition.
'A tour-de-force, ranging from underworld crime to a unique caper and a terrorist plot. David Gordon brings an outstanding new voice to the contemporary crime novel' Robert Crais.
'A treat – a hard-edged thriller that makes you feel good while you're reading it. Give it to someone. They'll thank you' Thomas Perry.
'Funny, with a satirical edge ... Gordon knows how to write a potboiler' LA Times.
Ex-black-ops-specialist-turned-strip-club-bouncer Joe Brody has a new qualification to add to his resume: an alliance of New York City's mob bosses has deemed him its 'sheriff.' In the straight world, when you 'see something' you 'say something' to the law. In the bent world, they call Joe.
Still reeling from a particularly difficult operation, and having plummeted back into the drug and alcohol addiction that got him kicked out of the military as a result, Joe has just managed to detox at the clinic of a Chinese herbalist when the mob bosses phone: they need Joe to help them swindle a group of opioid dealers (of all things).
But these are no typical drug-ferrying gangsters. Little Maria, the head of the Dominican mob, has discovered that her new heroin suppliers belong to an al Qaeda splinter group, and that they're planning to use their drug funds to back their terrorist agenda. With Joe in command, the mob coalition must pull off an intricate heist that will begin in Manhattan's diamond district. At stake is not only their business, but the state of the world.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The hotly anticipated sequel to David Gordon's The Bouncer.For readers who like high-calibre humour mixed with their hard crime, here's a brilliant, pyrotechnic thriller from a fresh virtuoso of the crime caper genre. Ex-black-ops-specialist-turned-strip-club-bouncer Joe Brody has a new qualification to add to his resume: he's the 'sheriff' for an alliance of New York City's mob bosses. In the straight world, you call the cops in the underworld, you call Joe. He's detoxing too much of the hard stuff at the clinic of a Chinese herbalist when the call comes in: the bosses need Joe to help them with ironically a high-end heroin problem. A new drug dealer is in town and the bosses think they might be an Al Quaeda splinter group, trading dope for diamonds to fund a major-league terrorist atrocity. And that would just be bad for business. Joe has a plan. He's a man who knows how to take down a terrorist cell. But first he needs a hit of the hard stuff diamonds, this time and lots of them.
