Synopsis
Bent copper Joe Denton gets out of prison suspiciously early after disfiguring the district attorney.
Nobody wants Joe to hang around, not his ex-wife, his parents or his former colleagues - if he had any decency he’d get out of town and start over. Unfortunately, Joe has precious little decency - and a whole lot of unfinished business to attend to.
A tale of redemption and revenge as dark and violent as it’s bitterly comic, Small Crimes is the UK debut of hard-boiled hotshot Dave Zeltserman.
Reviews
‘If the road to hell is paved to paved with good intentions, it may also be lined with small crimes. Classic noir, dark, funny, shocking and absolutely no compromise. Pure magic of the blackest kind’ Ken Bruen
‘Zeltserman delves deeply into his specialty, an unorthodox look at the criminal mind. It kept me turning pages and glancing over my shoulder’ Vicki Hendricks
‘Small Crimes is a superbly crafted tale. Immensely subtle, and written with a rare maturity and confidence... This deserves to be massive’ Allan Guthrie
‘This is a corrosive second novel of considerable impact. This loamy smorgasboard of salvation and revenge has both a violent and comic edge, marking Zeltserman as a name to watch’ Crime Time
'So noir... all the way to a surprisingly bold ending... Fairly zips along' Laura Wilson, Guardian
