Black Flies
After failing to get into medical school Ollie Cross takes a job as a paramedic in Harlem. Ashamed of his middle-class roots and eager to fit in he adopts a tough-guy persona which carries him through the dark days on the streets - the shoot-outs, the bad cops, the unhinged medics, and hopeless patients. But the daily horrors begin to take their toll and as his personal life starts to unravel, even Ollie can't tell who he is anymore. Black Flies is a gripping and unforgettable novel about indelible experiences, friendship in extreme conditions, deterioration and redemption.

Into the Savage Country
While on a perilous expedition into Crow territory in the 1820s, William Wyeth becomes trapped in the center of a deadly boundary dispute between Native American tribes, the British government, and American trapping brigades.
Into the Savage Country
It’s the early nineteenth century, and the American West is still wild and untamed. Young William Wyeth is ready to throw caution to the wind and join a fur-trapping outfit, even though it means braving wild animals, sudden blizzards, and conflicts with hostile British trappers. Still, nothing can compare to the elation William feels when he meets and falls in love with Alene, a proud widow who insists she will not wait more than a year. As William sets off on one last mission with a group of grizzled eccentrics and an enigmatic, hotheaded leader, it soon becomes clear that making it back to Alene might require more skill than any one man possesses.

911
Le réalisme de The Wire allié à la frénésie de Bad Lieutenant : un roman d'une intensité hallucinatoire. Lorsqu'il devient ambulancier dans l'un des quartiers les plus difficiles de New York, Ollie Cross est loin d'imaginer qu'il vient d'entrer dans un monde fait d'horreur, de folie et de mort. Scènes de crime, blessures par balles, crises de manque, violences et détresses, le combat est permanent, l'enfer quotidien. Alors que tous ses collègues semblent au mieux résignés, au pire cyniques face à cette misère omniprésente, Ollie commet une erreur fatale : succomber à l'empathie, à la compassion, faire preuve d'humanité dans un univers inhumain et essayer, dans la mesure de ses moyens, d'aider les victimes auxquelles il a affaire. C'est le début d'une spirale infernale qui le conduira à un geste aux conséquences tragiques. Dans un style viscéral, Shannon Burke prend littéralement le lecteur à la gorge et nous livre un portrait de la condition humaine digne d'Hubert Selby Jr ou de Richard Price.
The Brother Years
From the acclaimed author of Black Flies and Into the Savage Country and co-creator of top-ten Netflix hit Outer Banks, a powerful new novel of class striving and the precarious dynamics of brotherhood in the Chicago suburbs of the late 1970s. "In our family, there was none of this crap about everyone being a winner," says Willie, the narrator, who looks back on his teen years--and his nearly mortal combat with his domineering older brother, Coyle. In the Brennan house four kids sleep in a single room, and are indoctrinated into "The Methods," a system of achievement and relentless striving, laced with a potent, sometimes violent version of sibling rivalry. The family is overseen by a raging...
Safelight
It’s 1990, and New York City is in shambles: unemployment reigns, crack wars rage, and whole neighborhoods burn as delinquent landlords cash in. Struggling to come to terms with his father’s death, paramedic and photographer Frank Verbeckas descends into the chaos and misery of upper Manhattan, taking photographs of the ill, the wounded, the dying, and the down-and-out. Accompanying him on his wanderings are his loudmouthed partner, Burnett; his best friend, Hock, who boosts drugs from the hospital; and his brother, Norman, a surgeon who can’t understand why Frank is in such pain. Frank’s ruin seems inevitable, but when he meets Emily, a professional fencer whose days are numbered by...
