Die Famous

A family in peril takes to the road in this thrilling historical epic

The best gangster novel I’ve ever read. The writing is first class, and the action is nonstop.

– Stephen King

Juxtaposes shootouts, narrow escapes, vengeance, and justice, against family bonds, loyalty, love, motherhood, and memory, capped off with an ending you won’t see coming.

– Lisa Wingate,
author of Before We Were Yours

This will be the bar to which other historical crime fiction will be measured. Read Die Famous the moment it comes out.

– David Baldacci

Both big-hearted and thrilling. I loved this perfectly written tommy gun of a novel.

– Ariel Lawhon, NYT bestselling author of The Frozen River
