The Reward of the Fool Larry Redmond

The Reward of the Fool is the sequel to The Last and Final King. Set in Chicago during the 2000s, the main character-- now called Jay Sam Guy-- is a professional assassin who has arrived at a crossroads in his own life, questioning who he really is relative to the mean world around him, which happens to be populated with characters that turn out to be quirkier than he is. All the characters here seem flawed, or deliciously evil. All the elements are here: murder, fights, hot sex, double crosses. The Reward of the Fool is a thinking man's crime thriller.
