And, then; the nightmare accelerates into warp-speed unspeakable horror. Ryan Sayles has delivered yet another masterpiece in his newest novel, <b>Goldfinches</b>. This guy just keeps getting better and better! Take my advice and read this book with all the lights on…”<br /><br />—Les Edgerton, author of <b><i>The Rapist</i></b>, <b><i>The Bitch</i></b>, <b><i>The Genuine Imitation Plastic Kidnapping</i></b>, and <b><i>Bomb!</i></b><br /><br /><br />“No one does fractured domestic noir like Ryan Sayles. And <b>Goldfinches</b> finds him mining that dysfunction harder and fiercer than ever. Shattering domestic bliss with pulse-pounding, pedal-to-the-metal action. Think Liam Neeson and his special set of skills--only jacked up on meth with stronger moonshine and more vicious complications.”<br /><br />—Joe Clifford, author <b><i>Lamentation</i></b> and <b><i>Junkie Love</i></b><br /><br /><br />“Take the emotional grittiness of Breakdown, turn the violence dial to eleven, throw in a healthy dose of desperation multiplied by having kids involved, and you’re on your way to something akin to Ryan Sayles’ <b>Goldfinches</b>. This is a brutal, tense, fast-paced ride full of the relentless brutality and knack for action that have made Sayles a household name for fans of great crime fiction, and this vicious ride may just be his best one yet.”<br /><br />—Gabino Inglesias, author of <b><i>Zero Saints</i></b> and <b><i>Hungry Darkness</i></b><br /><br /><br />“Ryan Sayles writes like he’s got an angel on one shoulder and a fallen angel on the other. Here’s hoping Ryan keeps working it out on the page... and doesn’t make much progress.”<br /><br />—Jedidiah Ayres, author of Fierce Bitches and Peckerwood
