    Set in a small town in the Southwest, a soulful work of literary noir rife with vengeance and contrition from a fresh voice in fictionthe author of the highly acclaimed The Terror of LivingLife hasnt worked out the way Ray Lamar planned. A widower whos made some tragic mistakes, hes got one good thing going for him: hes calm and efficient under pressure, usually with a gun in his hand. A useful skill to have when youre paid to hurt people who stand in your bosss way.But Ray isnt sure he wants to be that man anymore. He wants to go home and see the son he hopes will recognize him. He wants to make a new life far from the violence of the last ten years, and he believes that one last job will take him there. A job that should be simple, easy, clean.Ray knows theres no such thing as easy, and sure enough, the first day ends in a catastrophic mess. Now the runners who have always moved quietly through this desert town on the Mexican border want answers. And revenge. Short on time, with no one to trust but himself, Ray must come up with a plan, or else Coronado, New Mexicos lady sheriff will have a vicious bloodbath on her hands.Set in a town once rich with oil, now forgotten and struggling, The Carrion Birds is filled with refreshingly realistic and vulnerable characters. With its masterfully orchestrated suspense and unexpected bursts of lyricism, this is a remarkably unsettling and indelible work in the tradition of Cormac McCarthy, Elmore Leonard, and Dennis Lehane.
