An act of heroism forces a husband and wife out of hiding and into a cross-country chase for their lives in this action-packed crime thriller.
Sean Tennant and his wife, Molly, are living safely, quietly, and cautiously in Houston. But that all changes after Sean heads to a local shopping mall, and a gunman begins shooting everyone in sight. A former soldier, Sean ends the slaughter with two well-placed shots—becoming a hero with his face plastered across the news.
But Sean's newfound notoriety exposes him to the wrath of two men he thought he had left safely in his past. One of them blames Sean for his brother's death. The other wants to recover a treasure that Sean and Molly stole from him. Both men are deadly and relentless enemies, and Sean and Molly will need to draw on all their strength and devotion to each other if they hope to elude them. Thus begins a cross-country chase that leads from Texas to Montana, from Tennessee to New York to Michigan, as the hunters and their prey grow ever closer and, in a heart-stopping moment, converge . . .
A wickedly clever and exhilarating thriller, The Good Killer offers a sophisticated, breathtaking look at the extremes people will reach for love, greed, and survival.
"A dazzling, cinematic thriller full of vivid characters and adrenaline-charged action. Dolan is writing in the tradition of the great Elmore Leonard, and he does the master proud." —Joseph Finder, New York Times–bestselling author of House on Fire

      When Iraq vet Sean Tennant, the hero of this satisfying crime novel from Dolan (The Man in the Crooked Hat), stops a shooting spree in a Houston mall by fatally shooting unstable Henry Keen, he draws unwanted attention to himself. Sean is actually Sean Garrety, and he and his wife, Molly Winter, have been in hiding from small-time crook Jimmy Harper, whose brother died while committing a robbery with Sean, and from Adam Khadduri, the dodgy art dealer they robbed. Sean speeds to rural Montana to join Molly, who’s lying low at a retreat, and the couple flee across the country, with Jimmy and Adam’s men in hot pursuit. Despite the many players, Dolan gives each of them their own believable motivations and emotions. The action concludes, not with a shoot-out, but with one of Keen’s victims as she deals with the aftermath of the tragedy, providing a calm coda after the relentless chase. Both action junkies and readers who like their thrillers on the cerebral side will find something to enjoy. Agent: Agent: Victoria Skurnik, Levine Greenberg Rostan Literary.
