About the Book
The novel that introduced the Ghostman to the world.
A heist in Atlantic City has gone catastrophically wrong. Two men are dead, the money is missing, and the FBI is closing in. There is only one man who can fix it — a fixer, a phantom, a Ghostman.
Roger Hobbs's debut became a global phenomenon: a New York Times bestseller, a CWA Steel Dagger winner, and a master class in modern noir.

Critical Praise
The reviews.
A breathtaking debut. Hobbs writes with the cool authority of a man who has been there — even when he hasn't.
The New York Times
Ghostman is one of the most accomplished and entertaining first novels in years.
The Wall Street Journal
Slick, smart, and almost impossibly assured. Roger Hobbs writes like a seasoned pro.
The Washington Post
A heist novel that practically demands to be filmed. Lean, propulsive, and ferociously intelligent.
The Guardian
