How to be Bad

Praise for I Love My Smith & Wesson "Shows what happens when a smart, funny, young British writer wastes his life reading American noir . . . Features one of the most interesting villains since A Clockwork Orange." ---Chicago Tribune "A great and deliriously gruesome thriller." ---Entertainment Weekly Rave Reviews for The Death You Deserve "As it happens, I knew these streets for nearly twenty years, and this tough, fabulous, smart-mouth novel captures them perfectly. The Sopranos meets The Jackal in a part of England Agatha Christie knew absolutely nothing about. This is hard, funny, and scary---try it." --- Lee Child, New York Times bestselling author of Without Fail and Running Blind "A heady blend of satire and action...Bowker's tight, smart style keeps the action clipping along, and his characters range from tragically hip to comically thuggish. For readers who like their mobsters with a side order of smart satire writing---and who doesn't?---Bowker is a welcome addition to the U.S. scene." ---Publishers Weekly "Grotesque, original, and murderously funny, it conforms to no existing crime template. . . . Bowker tells his bloody tale with wit, invention, and raw energy that boils off the page." ---Literary ReviewBowker, David is the author of 'How to be Bad' with ISBN 9780312328269 and ISBN 0312328265.
