"An enigmatic getaway driver chases, and is chased by, cops and mobsters" in this action-packed hard-boiled thriller debut ( Kirkus Reviews). Meet Lennon, a mute Irish getaway driver who has fallen in with the wrong heist team on the wrong day at the wrong bank. Betrayed, his money stolen and his battered carcass left for dead, Lennon is on a one-way mission to find out who is responsible-and to get back his loot. But the robbery has sent a violent ripple effect through the streets of Philadelphia. And now a dirty cop, the Russian and Italian mobs, the mayor's hired gun, and a keyboard player in a college rock band maneuver for position as this adrenaline-fueled novel twists and turns its way toward its explosive conclusion. One thing's for sure: this cast of characters wakes up in a much different world by novel's end-if they wake up at all. Praise for The Wheelman "If you are partial to fast-paced thrillers that present this world as an unforgiving, blood-soaked wasteland, you should love Duane Swierczynski's first novel. Swierczynski's novel, like those of [Elmore] Leonard, offers an undertow of humor beneath the churning sea of man's inhumanity." - The Washington Post "[A] promising debut.... The gripping tale of a heist gone wrong." - Robert Wade, San Diego Union-Tribune "A great heist story in the rich tradition of Richard Stark's Parker novels and Stanley Kubrick's The Killing... keeps readers holding their breath to see what's going to happen next. It is clearly the work of a maturing writer who is possessed of a keen style and abundant talent." - Philadelphia Inquirer
