"Gritty and compelling, packed with action, At the City's Edge crackles and sears like a rip-roaring fire." -- Tess Gerritsen, author of The Bone Garden
"Fast paced from the get-go and just as good as Sakey's stellar debut." -- Library Journal
"Goes from zero to sixty in a blazing rush. Sakey knows how to thrill a reader." -David Morrell, author of Scavenger
"Intricate...relentless...Sakey's gritty Chicago is wonderfully evoked." -- Kirkus
Ten years in advertising gave Marcus Sakey the perfect
background to write about criminals and killers. His debut, The Blade Itself,
was a New York Times Editor's Pick, featured on CBS Sunday Morning, and named
one of Esquire Magazine's 5 Best Reads of 2007. It has been translated into
numerous languages, and Ben Affleck has purchased the film rights for Miramax.
To research his novels, Marcus has shadowed homicide detectives, toured the
morgue, interviewed Special Forces officers, ridden with L.A. gang cops, and
learned to pick a deadbolt in sixty seconds. His latest novel is At the City's
Edge.
