There she finds that her scumbag dad had actually, in the final years of his life, put his amazing talent for hustling to good use: He was one of the founding members of the Fancy Suits, and died in the course of his duties. Zoey, a recent college graduate with a worthless degree, makes a reluctant trip into the city after hearing that her estranged con artist father had died in a mysterious yet spectacular way. Meanwhile a young girl is caught in the middle, and thinks the whole thing is ridiculous. The peace is kept by a team of smooth, well-dressed negotiators called The Men in Fancy Suits. In a prosperous yet gruesomely violent near-future, superhero vigilantes battle thugs whose heads are full of supervillain fantasies. So I need to start reading this guy’s books, stat! Here’s the book description, in case you need further convincing to read it: David Wong is the author of John Dies at the End, which I hear is fantastic. I don’t know why there is a cat in the middle of a bunch of scary looking guns, but I WANT TO KNOW. Releases in October 2015 from Thomas Dunne Books. I spotted this week’s pick while perusing NetGalley last week, and I immediately added it to my Goodreads TBR shelf:įuturistic Violence and Fancy Suits by David Wong. Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers.
