About this product
Product Information
Peter Leonard showed remarkable maturity for a first-time novelist in Quiver, his debut novel. In Trust Me, he reaches for new heights as he crafts a classic noir thriller loaded with double- and triplecrosses. The first mistake Karen Delaney made was entrusting $300,000 to her boyfriend, Samir, the head of an illegal bookmaking operation. The second was breaking up with him because Samir holds a $300,000 grudge. Months later, Karen sees an opportunity when two thieves break into her house in the middle of the night. She proposes a scheme to Samir's safe. But almost immediately Karen realizes she's in over her head as things begin to spin out of control. Trust Me moves at breakneck speed through the affluent suburbs of Detroit and Chicago as Karen is pursued by O'Clair, an over-the- hill heavy who works for Samir and wants the money for his own retirement; by Ricky, Samir's nephew who sees the money as a way to pay off his own massive gambling debts; by the thieves who've been double-crossed; and by two ruthless hit men who view the money as their stake in the American dream.

Reviews
Praise for Peter Leonard and Quiver: "Leonard has written an accomplished nail-biter, a harbinger of even better stories to come."--Rocky Mountain News "Reading Leonard is just as much fun as reading, well, Leonard."--Providence Journal-Bulletin "This is an outstanding debut. . . . Great tension and sharp-as-a-tack writing!"--Seattle Post-Intelligencer "Easily one of the best crime novels of the year." --East LansingJournal "Peter Leonard's energetic style makes one forget the name Elmore and concentrate on the Leonard. . . . Good writing may be in his genes, but the style's all his own."--South Florida Sun-Sentinel "With its clever plotting and blood-and-guts characters,Quiverwill certainly put Peter Leonard on the map. This is the start of something special." --Michael Connelly,New YorkTimesbestselling author ofThe Overlook "Quiveris a terrific debut. Peter Leonard has a good ear for voices, a good eye for detail, and a talent for bringing together elements that can't do anything but explode." --Edgar Award-Winner Thomas Perry, author ofSilence "Quiveris a surprise and a delight, a twisty deadpan stroll through some very devious neighborhoods. I welcome Peter Leonard and look forward to whatever he wants to offer next."--Donald Westlake "Quiver's supercharged plot, rhythmic dialogue, and cool-under-pressure characters kept me reading into the night. An impressive, exciting debut from Peter Leonard."--George Pelecanos,New YorkTimesbestselling author ofThe Night Gardener, Praise forTrust Me: "Leonard's second effort establishes him as a genuinely gifted storyteller. Although the book is similar in many ways to the hard-edged, witty, character-driven novels of Leonard's father, Elmore, it has its own voice and its own stylistic flourishes….In time, if you find yourself referring to 'that really cool mystery writer, Leonard,' you might have to explain which one you're talking about." Booklist "The dialogue rings pitch-perfect, the pacing of the plot approaches perfection…So far,Trust Meranks as thriller of the year. Trust me."

Booklist"There are many carefully crafted plot twists and unexpected scenes; Leonard's action-packed, fast-paced crime novel is virtually impossible to put down." --Lansing State Journal"Take three deep breaths, exhale slowly, pause, take a deeper breath then open this book. Trust me--you need controlled breathing to get you through Peter Leonard's rollicking thriller. Breathtaking is a reviewer's cliche. But it is simply the best way to describe the pace of Leonard's latest offering." --The Washington Times "The dialogue rings pitch-perfect, the pacing of the plot approaches perfection…So far,Trust Meranks as thriller of the year.
