title: The Ethical Assassin: A Novel
author:  David Liss 
description: Advance praise for<i> </i>The Ethical Assassin<b><i><br /></i></b><br />Gripping entertainment from the opening pagesa terrific read with the page-turning energy of a first-rate thriller, but also far more than that. David Liss has written a genre-bender with more than its share of white-knuckle suspense, vivid characters, and surprising humor.<br />Joseph Finder, author of Company Man<br /><br />Hilarious, poignant, and laced with paranoia, The Ethical Assassin reads like a Hardy Boys mystery on acid. David Liss pulls out all the stops in this Homeric coming-of-age tale. A vibrant and sweaty page-turner, this book explodes with fresh, memorable characters and a soundtrack Id like to own.<br />Mark Haskell Smith, author of Moist and Delicious<br /><br />Hypnotic and addictive storytelling.<br />Lee Child, author of One Shot<br /><br />Imagine David Lynchs bizarre masterpiece Blue Velvet, scripted by Edna Buchanan and Carl Hiaasen. Its a blast.<br />Kirkus Reviews (starred review)<br /><br /><br /><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>
