Twisted City

Winner of the Anthony Award for Best Paperback Original.

From the internationally bestselling author of Fake I.D. and The Follower comes a classic New York noir thriller.

Times are tough. They're about to get worse.

David Miller is a journalist stuck at a second-rate financial magazine. He hates his boss, resents supporting his girlfriend's partying lifestyle, and is still reeling from the death of his sister. He's already at the breaking point-then he makes one small mistake.

After losing his wallet in a Midtown bar, David finds himself blackmailed by junkies, lying to his family and friends, and stumbling into a criminal nightmare he barely understands. As desperation mounts, David is pulled deeper into a twisted web of betrayal, addiction, and moral compromise-one wrong decision after another, each more dangerous than the last.

Set in the underbelly of New York City, Twisted City is a dark psychological crime novel about grief, guilt, and the slow erosion of decency, told with Jason Starr's trademark intensity, razor-sharp dialogue, and relentless momentum.

This edition includes a new introduction by Eisner Award-winning writer Ed Brubaker (Criminal, Fatale) and bonus chapters from Starr's Barry Award-winning novel Tough Luck and his novel Hard Feelings.
