Reviews
Advance Praise for IRON HOUSE: "If you crave thrillers that are vividly beautiful, graphic, will make you bleed, try John Hart." - Patricia Cornwell "Lean, hard and absolutely riveting, Iron House is a tour de force. With his best book yet, John Hart has clearly joined the top rank of thriller writers." - Vince Flynn "It isn't as if Hart's career needed jump-starting. His first three stand-alone thrillers have been greeted by an ever-growing crescendo of praise, including two Edgar Awards. Definitely not the kind of writer who needs a breakthrough book. And, yet, Iron House lifts Hart to an altogether new level of excellence…. The present-time plot-disaffected Mob hit man on the run, trying to carve a new life without endangering those he loves-makes a superb thriller on its own (steadily building tension, magnificently choreographed fight scenes, including a High Noonlike finale), but it's what Hart does with the backstory that gives the novel its beyond-genre depth. Like the great Peter Hoeg in Borderliners (1994), Hart uses the familiar story of mistreatment in an orphanage as a way into the inner lives of his characters, and the blind fear, abject confusion, and yearning for love he finds there are both heartbreaking and curiously hopeful, in an almost postapocalyptic way. An unforgettable novel from a master of popular fiction." Booklist , starred review "This rich, impressive contemporary thriller from two-time Edgar-winner Hart (The Last Child) focuses on two brothers, Michael and Julian, both raised and abused at the Iron House of the title, an orphanage in the mountains of North Carolina.... Hart deftly interweaves a complex family history story with Stevan's intense, bloody quest for vengeance.... [The book's] powerful themes and its beautiful prose will delight Hart's fans--and should earn him many new ones." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review Overwhelming Praise for the National Bestselling Work of John Hart: THE LAST CHILD "A magnificent creation...Huck Finn channeled through Lord of the Flies ." - THE WASHINGTON POST "A rare accomplishment-a compelling, fast-paced thriller written with a masterful, literary touch." - Jeffery Deaver "If you haven't read John Hart...you ought to." - NEW YORK DAILY NEWS "This generation's Pat Conroy." - THE PROVIDENCE JOURNAL DOWN RIVER "Settles the question of whether thrillers and mysteries can also be literature." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review) "There are few books published that can legitimately be called a 'must-read,' but this is one of them." - CHICAGO SUN-TIMES "A beautifully constructed story of personal redemption, family secrets, and murder-a small-town epic...." - BOOKLIST KING OF LIES "Grisham-style intrigue and Turow-style brooding." - THE NEW YORK TIMES "A top-notch debut, Hart's prose is like Raymond Chandler's, angular and hard." - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY (Grade A) "[An] ambitious debut thriller...a gripping performance." - PEOPLE

Synopsis
A "New York Times"-bestselling author delivers his most devastating novel yet--the remarkable story of two orphaned brothers separated by violence at an early age. When a boy is brutally murdered in their orphanage, one brother runs and takes the blame with him. Twenty years later--a seasoned killer--he returns to North Carolina., An old man is dying. When the old man is dead they will come for him. And they will come for her, to make him hurt. John Hart has written three New York Times bestsellers and won an unprecedented two back-to-back Edgar Awards. His books have been called "masterful" (Jeffery Deaver) and "gripping" ( People ) with "Grisham-style intrigue and Turow-style brooding" ( The New York Times ). Now he delivers his fourth novel-a gut-wrenching, heart-stopping thriller no reader will soon forget. HE WOULD GO TO HELL At the Iron Mountain Home for Boys, there was nothing but time. Time to burn and time to kill, time for two young orphans to learn that life isn't won without a fight. Julian survives only because his older brother, Michael, is fearless and fiercely protective. When tensions boil over and a boy is brutally killed, there is only one sacrifice left for Michael to make: He flees the orphanage and takes the blame with him. TO KEEP HER SAFE For two decades, Michael has been an enforcer in New York's world of organized crime, a prince of the streets so widely feared he rarely has to kill anymore. But the life he's fought to build unravels when he meets Elena, a beautiful innocent who teaches him the meaning and power of love. He wants a fresh start with her, the chance to start a family like the one he and Julian never had. But someone else is holding the strings. And escape is not that easy. . . . GO TO HELL, AND COME BACK BURNING The mob boss who gave Michael his blessing to begin anew is dying, and his son is intent on making Michael pay for his betrayal. Determined to protect the ones he loves, Michael spirits Elena-who knows nothing of his past crimes, or the peril he's laid at her door- back to North Carolina, to the place he was born and the brother he lost so long ago. There, he will encounter a whole new level of danger, a thicket of deceit and violence that leads inexorably to the one place he's been running from his whole life: Iron House.

- u***b (2)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGood deal. There is one deep scratch on the CD. Minor scratches on the case; it's still in the original case, and it skips on the songs "Suffer," "For You," "Outside," and "Waste." Otherwise, I was hoping I would get a perfectly good CD.
