Wilson has spent his entire life under the radar. Few people know who he is and even less know how to find him. Only two people even know his real occupation, carrying out confidentialand illegaljobs for a very bad man. But one day he crosses the line, saving his friends and earning the hatred of a vengeful mob boss. He survives only by delving even deeper into the underworld of Hamilton. His next job is deceptively simpletransporting a seemingly harmless bag whose contents are both secret and dangerously valuable. Soon Wilson discovers who the bags real owners are and just how badly they want it back.

Review :
"The evolution of the gangster novel takes a step forward with Darwin's Nightmare. Mike Knowles' hardboiled spin on Hamilton's underworld is written with a tireless and controlled intensity." Alan Guthrie, author, Savage Night "Relentless. Only the most ruthless survive. A fantastic new hard-boiled voice. Anti-hero Wilson is pitch-perfect." John McFetridge, author, Dirty Sweet "A debut novel with an assured, strongly focused voice and hard-boiled writing that reminds you of Mickey Spillane... The violence is raw, the energy of the writing is addictive, and the story reveals life as it unravels from the wrong side of the gun." The Hamilton Spectator "A sobering look at what happens when a tentative quest for morality comes up against the reality that everyone lives in the jungle, where life has no value." Quill & Quire "Fans of Richard Stark and Andrew Vacchs will immediately recognize [this author's] cold-blooded pragmatism and brass-knuckled approach to problem solving... The action is straight, hard and fast and the characters are as sharply etched as this stuff gets ... as clean and tight a debut as I've seen recently." Mystery Scene "Fans of Charlie Huston and Chuck Palahniuk will probably enjoy Darwin's Nightmare." Sacramento Book Review "This fast paced novel is not for the faint of heart."
