One of my best friends decided to have a go at writing a novel a few years back. He sent it out to a bunch of publishers, it got picked up, and it's finally being released in the U.S. tomorrow. For our foreign members, it's also being published in a number of foreign countries, but I don't know when or which ones).
It's a thriller set in Chicago about a job that goes horribly wrong. One friend gets sent to prison, the other quits "the life". Seven years pass and the friend gets out of prison and after serving all that time without ever dropping his partner's name, he feels like his friend owes him -- and he's willing to do anything to get his payback.
I've read it and it's great and it not even the type of book I tend to read (not nearly enough fantastical elements or pictures (see: comics) for my usual tastes). Obviously, I'm biased, so here are some more objective (though equally stellar and more eloquent) initial reviews: http://marcussakey.com/reviews.php
I figured I'd do my part and give my buddy a little free PR in my "little corner of the internet". Here's the amazon.com link if you'd like to order it. If not, it should be in your local bookstore tomorrow.

It's a good read. It really drew me in and once I started reading it, I found it hard to put down.
Enjoy!
