Wise-talking, hilarious, exhilaratingly extravagant, treading a fine between genius and madness, The Price You Pay is the revenge thriller they warned you about
´A smart alec New York cocaine dealer discovers there´s a hit out on him and decides the best course of action is to take bloody - and amusingly creative - revenge´ Sun

Get mad, get even, get paid. What kind of loser stops at getting even?

Didi´s dead. That´s sad. Jack Price isn´t sad, because Jack doesn´t care about Didi. Jack is just angry, because if anyone was going to brutally murder his bad-tempered old neighbour, it was him.

But when Jack takes matters into his own hands, he gets a contract taken out on him by an internationally renowned terrorist organisation. Which frankly seems overkill. Jack´s just your average high-class coke dealer, after all. On a level playing field against a team of professional killers, he wouldn´t stand a chance.

But Jack Price doesn´t play fair. And Jack Price is going to make these guys pay.

´The Price You Pay is brilliant, a latticework of barbed jokes and subtle observations and inventive misbehaviours, a high-end thriller, relentlessly knowing, relentlessly brutal. It reads like Martin Amis on mescaline´ New York Times
A witty, gory, whiplash revenge tale narrated by a brilliantly entertaining sociopath. You´re mortified by the things you find yourself laughing at - and when you turn the page, there´s more. Guess what: you keep laughing´ Carl Hiaasen
Truhen, Aidan
Aidan Truhen is the pen name of a writer gone AWOL. He is not your grandmother´s crime novelist. The Price You Pay is the first Aidan Truhen novel. There´ll be more, though, so you´ll want to save up. That or move somewhere they don´t sell books. Your call.
