FUN AND GAMES（ISBN=） 英文原版

The first of three explosive pulp thrillers arriving
back-to-back from cult crime fiction sensation and Marvel Comics
scribe Duane Swierczynski.

Charlie Hardie, an ex-cop still reeling from the revenge killing of
his former partner’s entire family, fears one thing above all else:
that he’ll suffer the same fate.

Languishing in self-imposed exile, Hardie has become a glorified
house sitter. His latest gig comes replete with an illegally
squatting B-movie actress who rants about hit men who specialize in
making deaths look like accidents. Unfortunately, it’s the real
deal. Hardie finds himself squared off against a small army of the
most lethal men in the world: The Accident People.

It’s nothing personal-the girl just happens to be the next
name on their list. For Hardie, though, it’s intensely
personal. He’s not about to let more innocent people die. Not on
his watch.

“Duane Swierczynski is a much-needed breath of fresh air in the
book world. Sure, he starts with established archetypes and classic
story lines. But he makes them new and making them new makes them
fun. This guy is a great storyteller. I never know what he is going
to come up with or where he is going to take me. I just know I
won’t be complaining about a thing once I get there.” (Michael
Connelly )

“Insanely entertaining.” (Josh Bazell, author of the New York
Times bestseller Beat the Reaper )

“So bloody satisfying.” (Booklist )

“Breathless action. So much fun to read-on the couch or on the
run.” (Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review )

“Brilliant … one hell of a roller coaster read. Mr.
Swierczynski writes like Elmore Leonard on adrenaline and speed.”
(New York Journal of Books )

“With Fun & Games, Swierczynski has pushed his style to its
farthest extreme yet, and from the looks of things, the rest of the
trilogy is going to go even further; he has the chops pull it off
like the perfect heist.” (Los Angeles Review of Books )

“Swierczynski steps on the gas early in this pulse-pounding
contemporary thriller and doesn’t let up . . . an unforgettable
climax . . . the sequel’s appearance won’t be too soon for many
readers.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review) )

“A load of high octane taught action. Readers who like their
action fast, brutal, and smart, as well as fans of the Die Hard
franchise, will be eagerly awaiting the next installment.” (Library
Journal )

“More exciting than whatever you’re reading right now, this is
Duane’s breakout novel.” (Ed Brubaker, Harvey- and
Eisner-Award-winning author of Criminal and Incognito )

“A white-hot nuclear explosion.” (Joe R. Lansdale, Edgar
Award-winning author of The Bottoms, Leather Maiden, and the Hap
and Leonard series )

“Cool, suspenseful, tragic, and funny as hell, Fun and Games is
Duane Swierczynski’s best yet. I haven’t had this much fun reading
in a long time.” (Sara Gran, author of Dope and Come Closer )

“An audacious, propulsive thrill ride that kidnapped me on page
one and didn’t look back.” (Brian Azzarello, Harvey- and
Eisner-Award-winning author of 100 Bullets and Loveless )
