Mad Dogs James Grady

Mad Dogs goes full-throttle, pedal-to-the-floor right up until the final page. A great, great (book). -Dennis Lehane, New York Times bestselling author of Mystic River The CIA's secret insane asylum. Five of America's shattered spies. Crazy. Framed for the murder of their psychiatrist. What would you do? What they do is the most exciting fiction in years, a bullet-paced novel driven by heroes who burn their way into our hearts and minds. Once America's best warriors, now they're mad dogs-- set up, on the run, off their meds, hunting a traitor burrowed into the CIA. Crazy killers, yes, but they are also like us: struggling to find sanity, safety, and love in a world gone mad. And maybe, just maybe, if they can beat both the good guys and the bad guys, they'll create their own redemption. Mad Dogs is a shotgun blast of action with spy wars fought from Iraq to New York, Bosnia to Vietnam to twenty-first-century wartime Washington. With tradecraft like the James Dean gambit, knife-quick alley ballets, bombs, and black-bag jobs, our five heroes reveal worlds within the world we call reality. Mad Dogs is the literary equivalent of a supercharged Hemi, a rock-and-roll road novel that roars out of the gate and never slows pace. -George Pelecanos
