Lights Out

The electrifying thriller from the Anthony Award-winning author of THE FOLLOWER What if your dreams don't come true? Ryan Rossetti and Jake Thomas were the two Major League-bound rivals on their high school baseball team, until Ryan blew out his pitching arm and landed a ten-dollar-an-hour life as a house painter. Lucky Jake made it all the way, and he and his 10 million dollar signing bonus are heading back for a publicity-motivated homecoming weekend. But he's got a nasty surprise in store: Ryan is involved in an intense, addictive relationship with Jake's fiancé Christina, who now faces a choice between love in a Brooklyn tenement or a heartless marriage on Easy Street. None of the three have any idea what's about to play out on the streets they once called home. PRAISE FOR JASON STARR'S LIGHTS OUT "Sizzles with street-wise dialogue and furious emotional energy."

Jeffery Deaver "Jason Starr has the New York sound, energy, dialog that's on the beat." Elmore Leonard
