Supermax: The Max and Angela Trilogy - by Ken Bruen & Jason Starr (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Three books in one, Supermax is a pitch-black crime comedy from two of the hottest thriller writers on either side of the Atlantic.

THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS CRIME STORY EVER TOLD...

IN A SINGLE VOLUME FOR THE FIRST TIME!

When a small-time businessman who's a legend in his own mind (that would be Max) hatches a plan with his sexpot secretary (that's Angela) to murder his wife and live happily ever after, you might think everything would go smoothly - but Max and Angela are in for the ride of their lives, as an escalating series of bad decisions and worse luck plunges them into a tsunami of crime and depravity featuring IRA hitmen, an aspiring serial killer, a wheelchair-bound blackmailer, trigger-happy drug dealers, and the warring factions in one of the world's deadliest prisons.
