Description: From the author of the Hitchcockian debut "Caught Stealing" comes a fast-paced crime thriller about a good man who just wants to go home--and the bad past that won't let him.

Review Quotes: "Six Bad Things rocks and rolls from the first page. This is one mean, cold, slit-eyed mother of a book."--Peter Straub

"Six Bad Things is relentless. It grabs you by the throat, or slightly lower, and never lets go."--Jeff Lindsay, author of Darkly Dreaming Dexter

"Charlie Huston is a bad-ass writer, Six Bad Things is a bad-ass book. I loved it, absolutely loved it, as I did his first book. Can't wait for whatever else comes from him."--James Frey, author of A Million Little Pieces

"Charlie Huston is a great wordsmith who also happens to be a great storyteller, and in Six Bad Things he's produced a novel that is edgy, funny, and suspenseful all at once. It's a terrific read."--David Liss, author of A Spectacle of Corruption

"A body slam of a thriller, crammed to the brim with speed-dial action, scene-chewing dialogue, and a throat-clutcher of a plot. The characters are as real as a wanted poster--from Russian gangsters and Mexican feds to businessmen who make the Enron gang look like Britannica salesmen. A smooth blend of the best of Elmore Leonard, George V. Higgins, and Robert B. Parker, Six Bad Things is one great book."--Lorenzo Carcaterra, author of Nonna Maria and the Case of the Missing Bride and Sleepers

"Bloody amazing. Charlie Huston reminds me of all my favorite writers--Pete Dexter, Robert Stone, Crumley. Surprising, funny, compassionate, edge-of-seat stuff, and beautifully written. If there is such a thing as compassionate noir, Huston has found it. A true marvel."--Ken Bruen, author of The Guards
