"A rip-roaring Hollywood noir that smashes the pedal to the metal and keeps it there. The best villain since Ian Fleming's James Bond novels . . . This one is hot." -- Stephen King

"No Second Chances is a one-sitting read. Rio Youers writes with both muscle and heart, and his latest noir-meets-thriller is a literary sports car, loaded with style and speed. Jump in--and buckle up."
-- Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author

"Youers has spent years developing his style, perfecting his voice, and with No Second Chances he has produced a book that feels like something Elmore Leonard might have written: a dark and ballsy story that, once you've started it, you absolutely cannot stop reading." -- Booklist (starred review)

"No Second Chances is fierce and not for the faint of heart. Youers unleashes a moody thriller that exposes the darkness, desperation, and depravity that exists beneath LA's sheen of glitz and glamour--but with characters rife with redemptive potential. His cinematic eye and ear for dialogue results in the kind of story that plays out like a big-budget movie, but with a depth and nuance that's better suited to novels. And while the title might suggest otherwise, it's not a spoiler to say that happy endings are sometimes a matter of interpretation." -- Criminal Element

"[A] dizzyingly plotted thriller . . . the novel motors on at blinding speed, incorporating broken families, bottomless desire for revenge, and a denouement that makes the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre seems like mere trifle. What sticks with me, though, are the quiet moments, where the wounds of long-ago personal sacrifices have room to heal." -- New York Times Book Review on Lola on Fire

"John Wick meets Jane Hawk in Lola on Fire, a wild, relentless read. The action is terrific, the writing crisp, the characters unforgettable." -- New York Times bestselling author Michael Koryta

"Lola on Fire serves up all the gonzo action, quotable lines, and unforgettable characters a reader could want, in a novel that rivals Killing Eve in intensity and atmosphere." -- #1 New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill

"Lola on Fire sizzles and scorches like fresh steak slapped on a red-hot grill. And while you might know Lola's cousins--that girl with the dragon tattoo, the twin nemeses of Killing Eve, master assassin John Wick, even Kill Bill's Beatrix Kiddo--none of them can rival her bruised soul and bulletproof heart. How often does a ferocious action thriller gather your emotions in a net and haul them to the surface writhing and shiny? What was the last novel to kick-start your brain and your pulse at the same time? Cross Elmore Leonard with Lisa Gardner and you get Rio Youers. More Lola, please, aflame or otherwise." -- A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

"What a ride! Lola on Fire is a witty, impeccably crafted, and deliriously fun thriller with a furiously beating heart. Rousing action and killer pacing, powered by characters you'll love who possess the ass-kicking skills of the John Wick universe yet are still grounded with real humanity. Don't miss it." -- Taylor Adams, author of No Exit
