That's right, covers, plural. Tower (by Ken Bruen & Reed Farrel Coleman; 978-1935415-07-7; $15; September 2009) will have two covers, playing off the split-narrative aspect of the novel; half is written by Bruen, half by Coleman.Some early praise to whet your appetite...
“Taking up the storied themes of crime fiction—loyalty and betrayal, temptation and treachery—Tower lifts and elevates them, forging a tale both barbaric and baleful, swaggering and broken-hearted. Brutal, soaring street poetry to take your breath away.”
—Megan Abbott, Edgar Award-winning author of Queenpin and Bury Me Deep
“Tower goes off like a slo-mo explosion, a raging blast of white-heat light. It’s a compelling study of pathologies, and style, and friendship and fate. Fuelled by tenderness and murderous hate, it’s as tender as it is brutal, tender as a savage wound, ragged and raw. Here be monsters, crippled monsters: Nicky and Todd are the truest angels and demons of our mean streets I’ve read for some time. Be afraid.”
—Declan Burke, author of The Big O
