Product Information
Be nice. Nice is good. Nice sets a standard. Then, when you get mean, the shock is strongest. Montgomery Monty Haaviko has done the crimes and has lived the criminal lifestyle. His trade secrets----could fill a book. Now all he wants to do is settle down with his wife and baby and work on building a straight life. But for a man who's never held down a legitimate job and who faces the daily temptation of returning to his past, it isn't going to be easy. When Monty foils a robbery in his new home, killing the intruders, he quickly finds there are those who don't want him ever to forget what he once was. Detective Sergeant Enzio Walsh knows all about Monty's history and is determined to use it to put Monty away for murder. A couple of drops of Krazy Glue on the tips of your fingers eliminate fingerprints Not since Jack Reacher has there been such a quick-thinking, hard-edged anti-hero whom readers will root for against all odds. Monty imparts his hard-earned criminal knowledge via sharp asides straight out of the hit show Burn Notice or the bestselling Beat the Reaper , because he knows it's going to take all of the tricks he has to prove his innocence, protect his family and avoid the allure of the life he left behind. A dying man can do a lot of damage.

A fast and funny tale about an ex-con going straight the crooked way.... Exceptionally readable entertainment., Monty Haaviko... is a very engaging protagonist and narrator with a story arc that takes him in one direction and then another, back and forth, until the tale reaches its rewarding and appropriate conclusion (leaving the door open, incidentally, for a sequel or two). Van Rooy is not merely a capable writer but a quite gifted one; he draws us into the story pretty much immediately and never really gives us an opportunity to turn away. Definitely a writer to watch., A fairy tale worthy... of Quentin Tarantino. Michael van Rooy... makes his hero a MacGyver of crime, who spouts handy lawbreaking tips even as he creates elaborate booby traps or sets up the bad cop for a fall. He's really committed to his new life with his wife and baby, and that makes him a charming rogue instead of a smart-aleck lowlife., Canadian author Michael Van Rooy introduces an appealing antihero, Montgomery Haaviko, in his debut, a gritty, offbeat suspense novel... [with] enough dark humor to please Elmore Leonard fans., Extraordinary writing... Van Rooy has created a contemporary hero who defines an individual's struggle against the weight of a society that has judged and found irredeemable. Admittedly, a career criminal yearning for the straight life may be an anomaly, but there's just something about this guy that makes you want him to succeed. And that's thanks to this author's stellar storytelling and appreciation of the changeableness of the human heart., A commentary on justice and vengeance, and a handbook on criminal practice in a fun-packed, eminently readable romp., " An Ordinary Decent Criminal would have Quentin Tarantino smiling from page one. Doubt me? Read page one." -- Michael Koryta, author of The Cypress House "A fast and funny tale about an ex-con going straight the crooked way....
