Description



About the Book



Local journalist Cameron Colley sticks up for the underdog, often exposing prominent people who take advantage of the less fortunate. The trouble is that a twisted serial killer seems to have the same motives, committing murder on behalf of the same kind of underdogs.



Book Synopsis



COMPLICITY n. 1. the fact of being an accomplice, esp. in a criminal act
Local journalist Cameron Colley writes articles that are idealistic, from the viewpoint of the underdog. A twisted serial killer seems to have the same MO -- he commits brutal murders on behalf of the underdog. As the two stories begin to merge, Cameron finds himself inextricably and inexplicably implicated by the killer.
When the arms dealer whom Cameron plans to expose is found literally "disarmed" before Cameron can even put pen to paper and the brewery chief, loathed by Cameron, who sold out at the expense of his workers finds himself permanently unemployable, the police become convinced of Cameron's guilt, as do half his friends and colleagues, forcing Cameron to employ all his investigative skills to find the real killer and his motive.



Review Quotes




New York Newsday The sort of sophisticated whodunit that keeps you guessing and keeps you thinking...Dizzyingly clever.

San Francisco Chronicle Literate, passionate, and well-paced, Complicity succeeds as both an absorbing entertainment and a chilling examination of accountability in a morally bankrupt world.

The New York Times Book Review From the brilliant opening...that lands the reader smack in the middle of the first of a series of cold-blooded murders to the final confrontation on a weather-beaten wild island...Complicity is irresistibly compelling.

Donald E. Westlake Complicity is Banks at his absolute best. It isn't that you can't put this book down; it's that you don't dare put this book down.
