The Nightworkers: A Novel

A money launderer who insists on making dinner for his niece and nephew every night at 8 p.m. sharp, a career thief who recites poetry, the strong-arm who also uses his hands to create art — this is the make shift family we're introduced to in The Nightworkers. Selfon’s debut novel is a deep, moving and taut treatise on the families we are born into and the families we create. It’s a tense narrative that never lets up. Each page a beat of rhythm tapping out the lives of crooks, fixers and the people whom they pull into their web.
