Title: The Second Life of Nick Mason
Review: The new series from Steve Hamilton-the acclaimed noir author of the Alex McKnight series. What a start!!!!! This book is fabulously written, dark and mean in the underbelly of Chicago. Prison lifer gets his sentence dismissed after five years through the influence of incarcerated mob boss, but has to spend 20 years at the boss’ whim as his outside hit man. Mason is a complicated and troubled character surrounded by goons and evil. this book is made for a movie treatment. I’m all in on this series which currently has two more volumes available.
