Vince's real name is Marty Hagen. A career criminal from New Jersey, he has been given a new identity in a sleepy Northwest city by the Witness Protection Program. Since he testified against the hoods he used to run with, his rights have been restored - including his right to vote, something he's never done. For Vince, voting in the Presidential election becomes the most important thing in his life - proof that even a guy like him can change. But while Vince is busy remaking himself, his past arrives in town in the form of a contract killer that he recognises from his old life. Has he come to kill Vince? With three days left until the election, Vince must duck crooks, cops (including a younger and fresher-looking Alan Dupree from Over Tumbled Graves) and an implacable killer, as he tries to figure out a way to save himself, and his dreams. At once a suspenseful crime story, a moving love story and a superb evocation of time and place, Citizen Vince is a truly memorable novel from an acclaimed author.
