A Seattle Times bestseller and “[an] effervescent, wholly delicious
revenge fantasy . . . about big money, big politics, and big
crime” (Kirkus Reviews). Congressional fixer Joe DeMarco is
dispatched to his boss Congressman John Mahoney’s hometown of
Boston. Mahoney wants him to help Elinore Dobbs, an elderly woman
fighting against a real estate developer intent on tearing down her
apartment building for a massive new development. Mahoney is just in
it for the free press until Sean Callahan, the developer, disrespects
him and even worse, Elinore suffers a horrible “accident,” likely
at the hands of two thugs on Callahan’s payroll. Now Mahoney and
DeMarco are out for revenge. DeMarco tries to dig up dirt through
Callahan’s former mentor, and one of his ex-wives. But it’s only
when DeMarco gets a tip on the likely illegal source of some of
Callahan’s financing that things get deadly. A fast-paced
adventure into the cutthroat world behind the wrecking ball, House
Revenge is another gripping tale of collusion and corruption from a
beloved political thriller writer. “Originality, intelligence,
and humor lift Lawson’s excellent 11th Joe DeMarco thriller . . .
DeMarco provides all the fun and action that Lawson’s fans have come
to expect.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Lawson’s
DeMarco novels are often shrewdly prescient . . . Angry Americans
will flock to House Revenge.” —Booklist (starred review)
