Three books in one, Supermax is a pitch-black crime comedy from two of the hottest thriller writers on either side of the Atlantic. These newly collected cult novels are a bloody, bawdy odyssey of drug dealing, adultery, and murder for fans of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, and Bret Easton Ellis’s American Psycho.

THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS CRIME STORY EVER TOLD...

IN A SINGLE VOLUME FOR THE FIRST TIME!

When a small-time businessman who’s a legend in his own mind (that would be Max) hatches a plan with his sexpot secretary (that’s Angela) to murder his wife and live happily ever after, you might think everything would go smoothly – but Max and Angela are in for the ride of their lives, as an escalating series of bad decisions and worse luck plunges them into a tsunami of crime and depravity featuring IRA hitmen, an aspiring serial killer, a wheelchair-bound blackmailer, trigger-happy drug dealers, and the warring factions in one of the world’s deadliest prisons.
“This is indeed, as advertised, noir fiction without any restraints; relentlessly violent, obscene and amoral, it’s 600 pages of hilarity verging on hysteria. If that is the kind of thing you like then, firstly, you’ll love this. And secondly, don’t forget you’ve to sign in at the police station once a week or they’ll put you away again.”
—The Morning Star


“Having read plenty of pulp crime, Supermax is some of the most fun I’ve read in the genre.”
—SF Book Reviews


Acclaim for the Work of Bruen and Starr

“Two of the crime fiction world’s brightest talents join forces for…one of the top guilty pleasures of the year.”
—Chicago Sun-Times


“This tense, witty, cold-blooded noir…reads seamlessly—and mercilessly.”
—Entertainment Weekly


“A full-tilt, rocking homage to noir novels of the 1950s…smart, trashy fun.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review


“I want to kill these guys – except I can’t stop laughing long enough.”
—Lee Child
