About the Book

In the hotly-anticipated sequel to David Gordon's critically-acclaimed and "brilliantly goofy" (New York Times) The Bouncer, New York City's most hardened mob bosses team up once again, this time to pull off a high-stakes drug heist.

About the Author :
David Gordon holds an MA in English and Comparative Literature and an MFA in Writing, both from Columbia University, and has worked in film, fashion, publishing and pornography. He is the author of The Serialist, which won the VCU/Cabell First Novel Award and was a finalist for an Edgar Award, and Mystery Girl, as well as a short story collection, White Tiger on Snow Mountain. His work has appeared in the Paris Review, the New York Times, and the Los Angeles Review of Books, among other publications. He was born and lives in New York City.

Review :
Praise for The Hard Stuff: "With The Bouncer (2018), Gordon established himself as a major player in comic thrillerdom, right up there with Thomas Perry...Much of Gordon's genius comes from his ability to build character in a few subtle brush strokes, so his entire cast, including the morally and sexually ambiguous New York mobster Gio Caprisi, get under our skins in an instant and stay put. There are some grisly doings this time, but the lightness of touch that distinguishes Gordon's prose, whether his characters are bantering or dismembering, is still what makes this series soar." -Booklist (starred review) "Highly entertaining . . . Gordon has a knack for twisty story lines, nonstop action, and over-the-top sequences." -Publishers Weekly "Gordon is fashioning himself an impressive crime world niche somewhere between Donald Westlake and Elmore Leonard, with his raucous, rollicking stories of New York City crime...Come for the intricate, surprising crime scenarios; stay for the banter." -CrimeReads Praise for David Gordon and The Bouncer: "A brilliantly goofy caper novel in the grand tradition of Donald E. Westlake."-Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review "If you like a liberal dose of humor in your suspense fiction, then look no further than David Gordon's clever new caper...The Bouncer has 'film adaptation' written all over it."-BookPage "The Bouncer feels like the introduction to a series...loaded with interesting, quirky characters who are just different enough from those one usually encounters in a crime novel to shoulder its way to the top of your reading list...Gordon has garnered critical acclaim for his previously published fiction but deserves more notice in the public eye. This may be the book that provides that impetus. And somebody in the video industry needs to read it as well."-Bookreporter "[An] impressive crime novel...Gordon's sharply drawn supporting cast adds a nice balance to all the action. Cinematic writing makes this an obvious candidate for graphic novel or film adaptation."-Publishers Weekly, (starred review) "A madcap thriller...Gordon is an Elmore Leonard acolyte, but his latest novel is also working in the tradition of New York City crime: the gritty, cynical, and riotous novels that defined the city in the late 60s and 70s, especially the many wild stories of Donald E. Westlake."-CrimeReads, "Summer's Most Anticipated Crime, Mystery, and Thrillers "The Bouncer is 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, bestselling author of The Wanted and other Elvis Cole novels "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 "David Gordon's The Bouncer is 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, New York Times bestselling author of The Bomb Maker "Funny, with a satirical edge, and unlike some literary authors who play with genre, Gordon knows how to write a potboiler . . . An impressive debut."-Los Angeles Times, on The Serialist "An irreverent and funny twist on the classic whodunit-the kind of pulp-fiction mystery that made the careers of such writers as Jim Thompson, Raymond Chandler, and Dashiell Hammett."-GQ.com, on The Serialist "Gordon's sentences are crisp and often jarring. His plots unspool in strange, sometimes disturbing ways . . . enjoy the disorientation and to trust that you're in the hands of an
