THREE MEN TWO CONVICTIONS ONE LAST SCORE NO MORE CHANCES

Carved from a lifetime of experience that runs the gamut from incarceration to liberation. DOG EAT DOG is the story of three men fresh out of prison who now have the task of adapting to civilian life. The California three strikes law looms over them, but what the hell, they're going to do it their way.

Troy, an aloof mastermind, seeks an uncomplicated, clean life but cannot get away from his hatred for the system. Diesel is on the mob's payroll and interest in his suburban home and nagging wife is waning. The loose cannon of the trio, Mad Dog, is possessed by true demons within, that lead him from one explosive situation to the next.

One last big hit, one more jackpot, and they'll be set for life. Troy constructs the perfect crime and they pull it off, but it is still not enough to prevent a denouement that has a grim and violent inevitability about it.

"The 'Angel Dust' of crime fiction - thrillingly violent and addictive" - Evening Standard

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Mr. Bunker has written a raw, unromantic, naturalistic crime drama more lurid than anything the noiresque Chandlers or Hammetts ever dreamed up . . . "Dog Eat Dog" is an exciting, tightly constructed crime thriller with a fully realized cast of characters."-The New York Times

"It's easy to see why Bunker has acquired such diverse admirers as Quentin Tarantino and William Styron . . . What distinguishes Byron from other crime writers is his ability to convey the compassion dormant within his violent criminals without resorting to excess luridness, sympathy, or moralism."-Publishers Weekly

"Edward Bunker is among the tiny band of American prisoner writers whose work possesses integrity, craftsmanship, and moral passion . . . An artist with a unique and compelling voice"- William Styron

"At 40 Eddie Bunker was a hardened criminal with a substantial prison record. Twenty-five years later, he was hailed by his peers as America''s greatest living crime writer" - --The Independent

"_Dog Eat Dog_ expands beyond its genre confines" ----Cinesthesia
