An explosive thriller from the acclaimed co-creator of "Chicago Fire"
featuring his dynamic and compelling anti-hero, Columbus.
The way I die is two taps to the head, stuffed in the trunk of a rental
sedan, my body set on fire. The way I die is both arms broken, both legs
broken, tossed off a cigarette boat in the middle of Lake Michigan,
bricks in my pockets to weigh down the corpse. The way I die is acid in
a bathtub, pushed out of an airplane, strung up and gutted in an old
textile warehouse in Boston. My name is Copeland. My name is Columbus.
The way I die is a shotgun in my mouth, my finger on the trigger.
It is the middle of February on Mackinac Island, a tiny community off
the northern Michigan coast. But Columbus isn't here to enjoy the
picturesque surroundings. Reeling after the death of his wife and
relinquishing his son, he lives in isolation--in self-imposed punishment
and exile. Forgotten and alone. Nameless to his neighbors. But even if
he runs and hides, Columbus is never alone for long.
Ten years after Columbus--one of the most original anti-heroes in
contemporary fiction--first exploded onto the scene in The Silver
Bear, Derek Haas delivers another riveting thriller that promises
heart-pounding action and shocking twists until the very last page.
