Mystery Police Procedural
DON'T EVER GET OLD was one of mystery-publishing's biggest
critical successes, earning starred reviews from every major
trade publication, garnering nominations for the Edgar,
Thriller, and Anthony awards, and winning the Macavity Award
for Best First Novel. The producer of four Harry Potter
films and the Sherlock Holmes sequel, Lionel Wigram, is set
to produce the film version. In Daniel Friedman's new novel, set in Memphis, Tennessee,
and four months after the events of DON'T EVER GET OLD,
eighty-eight-year-old Buck Schatz is reluctantly coming to
terms with the fact that he can only move around with the
aid of a walker, and his dementia seems to be getting worse. So when one of Buck’s long-time foes, a bank-robber named
Elijah, comes to Buck looking for protection from mysterious
pursuers, Buck wavers. In the end, his desire to cement his
legacy by closing out a series of long-unsolved robberies
overwhelms his usual antipathy toward doing favors for
people he dislikes. Buck agrees to broker Elijah's surrender
to the authorities, if Elijah will promise to confess to his
long-ago crimes. But nothing involving Elijah, or Buck, is ever simple, and
Elijah's plans for Buck are more sinister than they first
appeared. Written in Buck's signature voice and featuring a mystery
that will knock your socks off, DON'T EVER LOOK BACK takes a
decades-old feud between two dangerous—and now elderly—men
and brings it to a final, explosive conclusion.
