A hilariously dark thriller about two very different New York couples.

The DePinos are miserable, living in a tiny rundown apartment above a deli on Tenth Avenue.

The Sussmans live in a posh building on the Upper East Side.

When Joey DePino loses his job and is threatened by his bookies and loan shark, he involves the Sussmans in a sick, desperate plan to pay off his gambling debts. But ad exec David Sussman has his own problems, trying to stop his suddenly psychopathic Asian mistress from ruining him, and won't go down without a fight.

As the lives of the DePinos and the Sussmans become increasingly intertwined, Joey and David plunge their families into a moral-less world where anything is possible and nothing is personal.

Reviews
Original modern noir tale reminiscent of Jim Thompson or David Goodis * The Irish Times *
Diabolically well-plotted noir thriller...Gentle readers should take heed * Literary Review *
Wholly satisfying. Nothing Personal is a fast, well-paced and well-plotted domestic crime thriller * The Barcelona Review *
Every few years you read a crime novel that jars you so completely that you begin to doubt your entire approach to writing. These rare books show you a whole new way of doing things. In the past six years, I've read three crime novels that have had that effect on me: Blue Lonesome by Bill Pronzini, The Ax by Donald E. Westlake, and now Nothing Personal by Jason Starr -- Ed Gorman * Mystery Scene *
The King of Noir is back. It doesn't get any darker or funnier than this...The best novel of the year * Bookends *
