“A fast-moving classic crime novel” (John Sandford) crafted by the veteran screenwriter and showrunner for the acclaimed police procedural series Blue Bloods, Johnny Careless is Kevin Wade’s razor-sharp debut novel.

“Kevin Wade’s cinematic prose carries you away at a sizzling pace that’s unstoppable. Johnny Careless is fresh and wildly entertaining, the characters so real you expect them to walk through the door.”

—Patricia Cornwell, New York Times bestselling author

“Wade’s gift for suspense is as well honed as one would expect from his film and TV credits—the real surprise is his character work, which goes deep enough that readers will find themselves thinking about Jeep and Johnny long after they’ve turned the final page. Haunting and heartbreaking, this is a winner.”

—Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review

“A haunting debut novel that works through misunderstandings and violence to something that feels like redemption.“

—KIRKUS
