A pitch-black crime comedy from two of the hottest thriller writers on either side of the Atlantic, Supermax is a bloody, bawdy odyssey of drug dealing, adultery, and murder for fans of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, and Bret Easton Elliss American Psycho.
When a small-time businessman whos a legend in his own mind (that would be Max) hatches a plan with his sexpot secretary (thats 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 worlds deadliest prisons.
Award-winning authors Ken Bruen (JACK TAYLOR) and Jason Starr (THE NEXT TIME I DIE) set out to write the wildest crime saga of all time, and the three novels that resulted originally published as BUST, SLIDE, and THE MAX earned rave reviews and nominations for the Barry and Anthony Awards. Long unavailable in their original print editions, these cult classics are now collected for the first time ever in a single volume, bringing Max and Angelas high-octane odyssey back to blow the minds of a new generation of readers.
