Rob Pierce

With the Right Enemies Rob Pierce

Vollmer's a young guy, grows up on ugly streets. He survives by being uglier, hurting people for money, hurting people because he likes hurting people. When he's hired to track down Dust and bring back the money he stole, keeping Dust alive isn't a priority. Neither is keeping anyone else alive, even people he loves. Vollmer's killed people he loves before.

With the Right Enemies is the bullet-drenched follow-up to Uncle Dust, Rob Pierce's acclaimed debut novel about a bank robber's disastrous fling with domestic life.

Praise for WITH THE RIGHT ENEMIES:

"A detailed and empathetic portrait of a personal struggle with demons we may not all face directly, but which always lurk beneath our carefully calculated covers. Pierce rips off that lid and exposes the common darkness of all our souls, whether we want to admit it or not." --Will Viharo, author of Hard-Boiled Heart and Love Stories Are Too Violent For Me

"One of the best noir and crime novels of the past five years. Pierce has done a masterful job of playing high drama and low stakes where the heart of the story isn't about the big heist, or the big show down, or the fight scenes, but of the complicated nature of being a criminal, and a creature of violence, but not a simple caricature. A fantastic read for fans of cynical, dark, and yet hopeful tales of people who pay for their mistakes and have to keep the change." --Jason Ridler, author of A Triumph For Sakura and Blood and Sawdust
