THE BIG O by Declan Burke
Declan Burke writes like Raymond Chandler on crystal meth. This character-driven mystery has the velocity of Lock, Stock, And Two Smoking Barrels or Snatch combined with the stylish prose and effortless dialogue of Elmore Leonard at his best.
The first page is one of the coolest openings I've read in some time, and it only accelerates from there. If you like your novels smart, funny and fast, read this book.

I like it when writers I like like writers I like!
Like, I like that, too. Yep, Karen's prescription for success at the beginning of The Big O may be the coolest, wittiest opening ever.
