Citizen Vince, (Audiobook)

<p><b>Winner of the Edgar Award for Best Novel of the Year</b></p><p><b>"You just have to read it ... . Utterly inventive... excruciatingly breathless." </b><b>--</b><b>Maureen Corrigan, <i>Washington Post</i></b></p><p><b>From the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Beautiful Ruins: </i>a riveting<i> </i></b><b>story of witness protection, petty thievery, local politics, and murder--set against the turbulent backdrop of the 1980 presidential election</b></p><p>It's the fall of 1980, the last week before the presidential election that pits the downtrodden Jimmy Carter against the suspiciously sunny Ronald Reagan. In a seedy suburban house in Spokane, a small-time crook formerly from New York, Vince Camden, pockets his weekly allotment of stolen credit cards and heads off to his witness-protection job at a donut shop. At the shop he takes a shine to a regular named Kelly, who works for a local politician. Somehow he finds himself and the politician in a parking lot at three in the morning, giving the slip to a couple of menacing thugs. And then he crosses the path of a young detective--and discovers his credit-scam partner, lying dead in his passport-photo office with a Cheerio-size bullet-hole in his head. No one writing crime novels today tells a story or sketches a character with more freshness or élan than Jess Walter. <i>Citizen Vince</i> is his funniest and grittiest book yet.</p>
