Deadly Lullaby: A Thriller

Deadly Lullaby: A Thriller

INTERNATIONAL THRILLER WRITERS AWARD FINALIST â€¢Â For readers of Harlan Coben and Robert Crais, Robert McClureâ€™s rollicking crime novel of family and felony takes readers on a relentless thrill ride through the L.A. underworld.
Â
Fresh off a nine-year stint in San Quentin, career hitman Babe Crucci plans to finally go straight and enjoy all life has to offerâ€”after he pulls one or two more jobs to shore up his retirement fund. More than anything, Babe is dead set on making up for lost time with his estranged son, Leo, who just so happens to be a rising star in the LAPD.
Â
The road to reconciliation starts with tickets to a Dodgers game. But first, Leo needs a little help settling a beef over some gambling debts owed to a local mobster. This kind of thing is childâ€™s play for Babeâ€“until a sudden twist in the negotiations leads to a string of corpses and a titanic power shift in gangland politics. With the sins of his father piling up and dragging him down, Leo throws himself into the investigation of a young prostituteâ€™s murder, a case that makes him some unlikely friendsâ€”and some brutally unpredictable enemies.
Â
Caught up in a clash of crime lords, weaving past thugs with flamethrowers who expend lives like pocket change, Babe and Leo have one last chance to face the ghosts of their pastâ€”if they want to live long enough to see their future.

Praise for Deadly Lullaby
Â
â€œRobert McClure is the real deal, an author who produces pulp fiction the way Chandler and Hammett didâ€”with depth and heart.â€â€”Otto Penzler, editor, The Best American Mystery Stories
Â
â€œToo compelling to put down.â€â€”Roger Hobbs, bestselling author of Ghostman
Â
â€œDeadly Lullaby is, at heart, a father-son story, but one in which the father is a ruthless gangster and the son a cynical cop. I loved both of these flawed characters. Robert McClure has written a rousing debut, elevated by pitch-perfect dialogue and a whiplash pace.â€â€”Peter Swanson, author of The Kind Worth Killing

â€œThe writing is excellent, and the family relationship offers an interesting angle.â€â€”I Heart Reading
