The Sopranos meets Six Feet Under in this thrilling debut crime novel about the killing of a hitman-for-hire, his daughter who wants revenge, and a priest who accidentally witnessed everything.

Gerry Sass is not who he appears to be. On the surface, he is the proud owner of a local country music station outside of Mystic, Iowa. Beneath it, he’s a mob-connected hitman-for-hire who launders money through the station WIOA.

One morning in 1986, his life of crime catches up to him when two men march him out into the woods and shoot him in the back of the head. Plunged into purgatory, he’s doomed to a painful examination of his life. Unbeknownst to the assassins, Gerry’s closest friend, a Catholic priest named Father Dan, witnesses his execution yet does nothing to stop it.

Meanwhile, Gerry’s daughter, Early, jumps into his prized Mustang with a thirst for revenge. On her adrenaline-fueled hunt, she comes to realize that she’s more like Gerry than she ever chose to admit.

Alternating between the voices of a grieving and adrenaline-fueled daughter, a guilt-ridden priest with no one he can trust, and the voice of a dead killer not quite yet gone, My Name Was Gerry Sass exposes the complicated natures of family, grief, and God in this propulsive and darkly funny novel.

Recensioni della critica

"This poignant novel will leave listeners contemplating guilt, family, and redemption." —Kirkus
"Narrators Chris Henry Coffey as Gerry, Jay Myers as Father Dan, and Angel Pean as Early weave together a story of revenge, love, and legacy. Behind his cover as a radio station owner in 1986 Iowa, Gerry is a hit man for the mob laundering money through his legitimate job. When he is executed, his daughter, Early, is determined to get revenge. The story is told from three points of view: Gerry in purgatory, watching the consequences of his decisions and the aftermath of his death; Early as she takes off in Gerry's Mustang and does some serious self-reflection on her journey; and Father Dan, a Catholic priest who witnesses Gerry's murder but doesn't want to speak up. The narration perfectly matches the pacing, emotion, and depth of these unforgettable characters." —Kirkus
