An Ordinary Decent Criminal by Michael Van Rooy, Thriller-278 pages
An ex-con, with a violent past, who is trying to go straight and make a life for himself with his wife and child, is drawn back into a world of violence when he kills three men in self-defense. The main character's comfort with mayhem and his cold calculating demeanor are reminiscent of characters out of novels by Lee Child, Richard Stark, or Josh Bazell. A pretty good read with a somewhat too sunny ending.-Patrick
