FIVE STARRED REVIEWS
Ed Kennedy is an underage cabdriver without much of a future. He's pathetic at playing cards, hopelessly in love with his best friend, Audrey, and utterly devoted to his coffee-drinking dog, the Doorman. His life is one of peaceful routine and incompetence until he inadvertently stops a bank robbery.
That's when the first ace arrives in the mail. That's when Ed becomes the messenger. Chosen to care, he makes his way through town helping and hurting (when necessary) until only one question remains: Who's behind Ed's mission?
Customer Reviews
Messenger
A solid book by an exceptionally gifted writer. He does things with words and images that can’t be learned or taught. Some of his sentences will leave you in awe. The story has a nice set up and payoff. We’ll see how long it sticks with me, but my guess is not long.

Greatest ending possible, an overall perfectly executed book
