Three tough guys flex their chops in a literary cage match contest for most chilling thriller writer. Metaphorical take downs, dangling participles and adjectives sliced away like so much excess fat — a veritable blood bath of killer prose.
The New York Center for Independent Publishing is located at 20 West 44th in the library of the General Society for Mechanics and Tradesmen (previously called the Small Press Center.)
SHANE GERICKE’s writing career began in high school, as a $7.50-a-week sportswriter for the local Frankfort Herald. He liked it so much he never looked back.
He spent 25 years as a journalist, most prominently as a senior financial editor at the Chicago Sun-Times, then switched to crime thrillers. His debut, the national bestseller BLOWN AWAY, was named Best Debut Mystery of 2006 by Romantic Times Book Reviews, and appears in five languages. His sequel, CUT TO THE BONE, also from Kensington Publishing, just launched worldwide. Mr. Gericke writes for national magazines, is a founding member and charity auction director of International Thriller Writers Inc., and is a popular speaker at national conferences and book clubs.

“CUT TO THE BONE is a frightening thrill ride, with beautifully drawn characters, sharply observed detail, and exceptional writing. This is a damn fine book.”
– New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston

— James Patterson
