Singer’s Gun Makes INDIENEXT #1 Pick for May
DENVER, CO - March 29, 2010 - Unbridled Books is thrilled to share that THE SINGER’S GUN by Emily St. John Mandel, due out May 4th, has just been named the #1 Indie Next Pick for May. This means that indie booksellers chose this title as their favorite book coming out in May. So keep your eyes out for this title, which actually lands in stores in late April. It’s perfect for summer reading!
In THE SINGER’S GUN, everyone Anton grew up with is corrupt. His parents deal in stolen goods, and his first career is a partnership venture with his cousin Aria selling forged passports and social security cards to illegal aliens. Anton longs for a less questionable way of living in the world and reinvents himself as a successful middle manager. Then a routine security check suggests that things are not quite what they appear. And Aria begins blackmailing him to do one last job for her.
As Anton’s carefully constructed life begins to disintegrate around him, he’s forced to choose between loyalty to his family and his desires for a different kind of life. When everyone is willing to use someone else to escape the past, it is up to Anton, on the island of Ischia, to face the ghosts that travel close behind him.
Emily St. John Mandel follows up her electric debut, LAST NIGHT IN MONTREAL, with a spellbinding novel of international crime, false identities, the depths and limits of family ties, and the often confusing bonds of love. Taut with suspense, beautifully imagined, full of unexpected corners, desperate choices, betrayals and half-truths with deadly consequences, THE SINGER’S GUN explores the dangerous territory between one’s moral compass and the heart’s desire.
Also, please note that we are releasing the paperback of LAST NIGHT IN MONTREAL on April 6th.
