Very Bad Men

Discover the Penguin books that shaped us

A riveting crime novel . . . Relentless pacing, a wry sense of humor, and an engaging protagonist add up to another winner for Dolan

A second mind-bending case for David Loogan that begins just as simply and ominously and takes the reader on just as wild a journey . . . Dolan mixes his pitches with an ace's judgment . . . The rare crime novel with something for everyone who reads crime fiction

Smooth and appealing . . . a twist-filled adventure . . . the characters in this engaging work are full of surprises

Dolan makes sure that both the characters and dialogue stay rough around the edges, just like the scenery of northern Michigan, giving Very Bad Men a satisfyingly realist bite

Anthony Lark has a list of names: 
Terry Dawtrey 
Sutton Bell 
Henry Kormoran 
 
He is hunting them down, and he won’t stop until every one of them is dead. 
 
But this is a killer with a conscience and crime editor David Loogan is about to find out that his latest manuscript is no work of fiction but a serial killer’s confession of what he’s done – or is about to do – to some very bad men...

Raymond Chandler meets the Coen brothers - with a dash of Harlan Coben - in a smart, funny, multi-layered and tightly plotted murder mystery

Harry Dolan graduated from Colgate University, where he majored in philosophy and studied fiction-writing with the novelist Frederick Busch. He earned a master's degree in philosophy from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and worked for several years as a freelance editor. 
 
Dolan, who grew up in Rome, New York, now lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with his partner, Linda Randolph.
