Description:

*The Carrion Birds *from Urban Waite, author of the highly acclaimed *The Terror of Living*, is a remarkable work of literary noir. Hired gun Ray Lamar is ready to put his past behind him. He wants to see his twelve-year-old son and start a new life—away from the violence of the last ten years. One last heist will take him there. All he has to do is steal a rival’s stash. Simple, easy, clean.  But when things start to go very wrong, Ray realizes the path to redemption isn’t always easy. A soulful tale of violence, vengeance, and contrition, *The Carrion Birds* is an elegant depiction of one man’s last chance to make things right.
