Publisher's Summary
"Tander Phigg was an asshole, but he was also a Barnburner. Barnburners
saved my life. I help them when I can. No exceptions." The job seems
simple. Conway Sax, a no-nonsense auto mechanic with a knack for solving
difficult problems, has never liked obnoxious blowhard Tander Phigg.
But a promise is a promise.
Tander's a Barnburner, a member of the unique Alcoholics Anonymous group
that rescued Conway, and when a Barnburner has a problem, Conway takes
care of it. Besides, all Tander wants is to get back his baby, a vintage
Mercedes that's been in a shady auto shop far too long.
But Conway soon discovers there's much more to the problem than Tander
first let on -- especially when Tander turns up dead. Conway was the
last person seen with the victim, and on top of that, he has a record,
making him the cops' top suspect. He must catch the killer to clear
himself, but beyond that, he's a man who honors his promises, even when
the guy he made them to is dead.
In the tradition of Robert B. Parker and Dennis Lehane, Steve Ulfelder's
crackling debut mystery features a gritty, razor-sharp new voice in
crime fiction. Conway Sax isn't a hired gun or a wise-cracking urbanite.
He's just a mechanic trying to make his way, a blue-collar guy whose
ideas about family and loyalty are as deeply held as they are strong.
He'll break your heart if you're not careful.
What the Critics Say
"Genuine characters and intense action--a serious crime novel with serious
edge." (Patrick Lee, New York Times best-selling author of The Breach)-
"Purgatory Chasm grabs you at the gate and doesn't let go, careening
through a top-notch whodunit to an ending you don't see coming. A debut
this good makes you wonder what Ulfelder's holding back for the next
race." (Sophie Littlefield, Edgar Award-nominated author of A Bad Day
for Sorry)
"Holds a hot, ominous idle just until Ulfelder engages gears and hits
the gas, pinning you back against the seat, hopeless to leave before
the end of the ride. One of those rare debuts that leaves you immediately
eager to see what is next." (Michael Koryta, award-winning author of
The Silent Hour and The Cypress House)
