"A short fast trip down the road to hell with prose as hard as a hammer. If your reading diet requires something tough and bloody, here it is. Grab it." <br> €"Bill Crider, Award-winning author of the Sheriff Dan Rhodes series <br> "I read as a writer and believe me, an entire class could be profitably taught using just this novel. The fictive dream is established immediately and there€s no departure point where the reader can leave. Matthew Louis has crafted one of the best, most interesting, best-paced and plotted novels I€ve read in a long, long time, and I just hope he keeps cranking €˜em out as fast as he can." <br> €"Les Edgerton, author of The Rapist, The Bitch and the forthcoming, The Genuine, Imitation, Plastic Kidnapping <br> "A first-rate, fly-through-the-pages freakshow that left me longing for a bit longer with [Matthew Louis's] hardboiled heroes." <br> €"Tony Black, author of His Father's Son and The Last Tiger <br> <i><b>A novel of unforgettable characters, surprising twists and satisfying payoff, The Wrong Man will stay with you long after you've read the final sentence.</b></i> <br> Sam Schuler is starting a new family, trying to begin a respectable life, and trying to extricate himself from the seedy people he once knew. <br> But when his former best friend involves him in a petty drug theft, a local street gang is stirred to action and Sam finds himself the target of harassment from the gang's leader. <br> When the situation escalates from threats to violence to the worst transgression imaginable, Sam's reality is warped beyond recognition.
