RETURN, THE by Michael Gruber - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKSee all titles by Michael Gruber.
Lauded as his #1 favorite book of the year, Stephen King advised President Obama, in the pages of Entertainment Weekly, to pick up Michael Gruber’s previous book, The Good Son. With an unforgettable hero, The Return is as exciting and provocative as Gruber’s best work.
The real Richard Marder would
shock his acquaintances, if they ever met him. Even his wife, long dead,
didn’t know the real man behind the calm, cultured mask he presents to
the world. Only an old army buddy from Vietnam, Patrick Skelly, knows
what Marder is capable of. Then a shattering piece of news awakens
Marder’s buried desire for vengeance, and with nothing left to lose, he
sets off to punish the people whose actions, years earlier, changed his
life. Uninvited, Skelly shows up and together the two of them raise the
stakes far beyond anything Marder could have envisioned.
As Marder and Skelly head toward
an apocalypse of their own making, Marder learns that good motives and
sense of justice can’t always protect the people a man loves. A range of
fearsomely real characters, from a brutally violent crime lord to a
daringly courageous young woman, a roller-coaster of twists and turns,
and a shattering exploration of what constitutes morality in the face of
evil, Michael Gruber has once more proven that he is “a gifted and
natural storyteller” (Chicago Tribune) and shows why he has been called “the Stephen King of crime writing” (The Denver Post).
