More About This Book

Overview

An e-original omnibus of three suspense novels by the Barry Award-nominated novelist and co-screenwriter of Wanted, 3:10 to Yuma and The Double.

He calls himself Columbus. His real name never meant much to him anyway. He never knew his father, an earnest young congressman and rising star in the Democratic Party named Abe Mann, or his mother, a prostitute whose involvement with Mann would prove dangerous.

All Columbus cares about is his next target. A hit man who quickly made a name for himself as one of the best in his profession, you can be sure he'll fulfill whatever contract's been given him. Even if those who put out the hit have other plans in mind.

In THE COLUMBUS TRILOGY, the first three novels by Barry Award-nominated author Derek Haas, Columbus squares off against the shadow of his father, Czech crime lords, drug dealers, a prostitution ring, and more, in three acclaimed suspense novels by a rising master of the genre.

    Bought this after listening to the author as a guest on John Aug

    Bought this after listening to the author as a guest on John August' screenwriting podcast. Very cool main character and consistent plotting makes for a fun, quick read. Will check out the author's next book.

    Quick and Exciting

    This book follows the work life of a "hit man for hire" in an exciting, quick paced way.

    Though we shouldn't like or understand Columbus, the writer has a way, without jumbled words, to give us a peek into the life, troubles and psychology of the killer.

    Once I started it, I couldn't put it down.

    A Great Read!

    Concise but not dumbed down, this trilogy is a smart read that takes you into the mind of a hitman as he goes about his job. He's cold and unlikeable and we really shouldn't want to know what makes this guy tick, but we do. And, it's worth it.
