Debt Crasher, plot wise, reminds me vaguely of a Takeshi Kitano film. It stars a troubled guy, named Cam Reynolds, who gets into a bit of a scramble with a Latino mobster. This causes his life to take a tussle when he accidentally kills the man. So as we all know, being a mobster can have its ups and downs, but 99% of the time it consists of having your life on the edge of a knife, the welder just itching to cut right through you. "I do what I have to and never an inch more. Been looking out for...
Good ReadI enjoyed reading this book. I did think there could have been a bit more development of some of the characters. However, it was still worth reading.
A nice short burst of solid, often exciting action. The hero, Cam, had me pulling for him. Like other readers, though, I couldn't get past the way the character of Loraine was introduced and handled.
Cam Reynolds has a simple job. Collect the money owed to his boss, Tommy, Jr. He is the son of the legendary and now deceased mob boss, Tom Colcetti. The kid may not value him as much as his father did, but the kid is keeping the family business going and Cam still has a job. Though it is not the job he wants as he feels that he should have moved up by now. Junior has also made some changes that Cam does not approve of and it looks like he won’t be moving upwards anytime soon. At forty two years...
Synopsis/blurb....Cam Reynolds has a problem. When Cam’s longtime boss Tom Colcetti dies and leaves control of his criminal organization to his predatory son Tommy, Cam may finally get the chance to run a crew of his own. But Tommy has his eyes on new business horizons, and Cam just made a mistake that could destroy Tommy’s heavy-hitting new partnership. Now Cam must struggle against violent forces of betrayal, lust, and greed as he attempts to either salvage his career, or get out of the game w...
Debt Crusher may only be a novelette, but if you are on the lookout for tough guy fiction, you found it. This book is chock full of solid action from start to finish. Cam might be an enforcer and a debt collector, but when a mistake puts him in hot water with the new boss and his new partners, all hell breaks loose and Cam is on the run from the meanest cartel with only a short-skirted, sharp-tongued woman he found in a dive bar to depend on. The story takes place for the most part in Seattle, b...
Debt Crusher is a fantastic debut novella by Michael Pool. The story line is fast and tight. I'd argue that Pool has a full novel in him--whether it's Cam or some other character. I look forward to see where his writing goes in his next book.
Kick-ass crime novella that has the feel of those Gold Medal pulps and also has the vibe of Winslow's The Winter of Frankie Machine as Crusher is on the run and then getting even. A fun and fast read that only slowed a bit in the middle as some back story bio got dropped. Maybe we get more Crusher in another book? That would be a good thing.Set in Seattle (although only lightly described with basically names of places) and the mob crews in the novella are modeled on the Colacurcio family who ran...
An expertly rendered crime tale. Setting the tale in Seattle and then Cripple Creek Colorado gave it a little bit different flavor than most mob revenge stories but it could have used a few more twists and turns and a little less use of well worn tropes. While there is nothing new here, it is still damn entertaining and hard to put down.
I love stories that are fast-paced, violent, pulp-styled, gritty as hell, with just enough humor to break the tension every now and then, and this took care of all those preferences for me. After all, sometimes you just really wanna read people getting beaten and shot and mutilated. Good times.
