A darkly humorous and edgy crime novel set in New York City in the late ‘80s, Blood Will Have Blood will appeal to fans of Elmore Leonard, the Coen Brothers, and Lawrence Block. Seven years in New York, and that big break has yet to materialize for struggling actor and inveterate pothead Scott Russo. Performing in terrible, barely attended Off-Off Broadway productions, hopping from one soul-crushing job to the next, Scott slacks away in a pot-fueled haze and contemplates throwing in the towel on his anemic career. The only thing that keeps him going is the humiliation of returning home to Baltimore. That and his current theatrical gig: an idiotically bad production of Macbeth. Broke and out of a job, Scott jumps at his friend’s offer to work for a pot delivery service, only to get caught in a web of brutal Irish gangsters, a charismatic psychopath, ruthless prosecutors, and clueless actors. As his theatrical and criminal worlds collide in mayhem, murder, and betrayal, Scott finds himself morphing into a bumbling and blood-stained Macbeth, on stage and off. If he can just make it to opening night… Book Review 1: A taut thriller that’s peppered with acerbic humor… (Carry’s) ability to control the novel’s pacing and keep it uncluttered will appeal to fans of classic noir. -- Kirkus Indie Reviews Book Review 2: This is a witty and gritty Shakespeare-laden narcotics thriller with vibrant, super weird characters. Super. Weird. The writing is polished and a pleasure to read; the dialogue is natural…definitely one of my favorites of the year. -- Interview with a Reader Book Review 3: Gritty, hard-boiled crime drama… An absolute page-turner. -- The Prairies Book Review
