From Publishers Weekly
At the start of this violent and intense noir and espionage hybrid from Swierczynski (The Blonde), David Murphy, the CEO of a Philadelphia financial company, summons his seven staffers for an important Saturday meeting, where he informs them that the business is being shut down, and that unfortunately he has to kill them all. Every escape route from the 36th-floor office has been sealed off or rigged with lethal sarin gas. Suddenly, mousy Molly Lewis pulls out a gun and puts a slug in Murphy's head. The resulting chaos sets off a panicked scramble, as the reader gradually learns that the business is a front for a covert intelligence group called CI-6. Thousands of miles away in Scotland, two men monitor Molly Lewis, who's actually a highly trained Polish operative named Ania Kuczun, as she performs her own private audition, which involves the systematic elimination of her co-workers using a truly imaginative array of methods. This action fest moves swiftly to its darkly satisfying conclusion. (May)

Review
Praise for Severance Package: "[A] kinetic story, which never stops moving...turbocharged entertainment." --Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times "Swierczynski writes a brand of thriller whose pacing forces us to reexamine our casual use of the word breakneck...This is essentially one long action scene that begs for the next Tarantino to direct. But if that sounds like faint praise, it isn't: there are both enough cliche killers and comedy to make us raise two thumbs up. If you want your thrillers to be, well, thrilling, pop a big bowl of corn--you won't leave your seat until the end."--Booklist "The best word to describe Swierczynski's latest thriller is frenetic, and even that is likely an understatement." --Library Journal "Fans of crime fiction will find Swierczynski's latest offering to be a guilty pleasure of unparalleled magnitude. With pedal-to-the-metal pacing, characters who appear to be meek cubicle dwellers a la 'Office Space' but are really cold-blooded, black-ops killers, and enough gut-churning violence to make a Quentin Tarantino movie look like a Disney musical replete with singing candlesticks and teapots, the dark, twisted energy in this novel is palpable." --The Chicago Tribune
“A hot shot of adrenaline straight to the neural plexus.” –Joe Schreiber, author of Chasing the Dead and Eat the Dark
Praise for The Blonde: "Compulsively readable...rockets forward with inventive ferocity. [The] plot uncoils in a rapid-fire series of time-coded moments that generate a relentless tension. Brilliantly paced insanity."--Houston Chronicle"Hardboiled enough to crack walnuts, [with] action more precipitous than a bobsled run." --Philadelphia Inquirer
"Rapid-fire pacing, hard-boiled dialogue and excellent local color."—Publishers Weekly
"This is another fast, funny, and action-packed outing from a writer who, fortunately for us, doesn't seem to know how to slow down."—Booklist
"THE BLONDE will be the most madcap, mordantly funny and completely mesmerizing novel you will read this year. The action begins in the first sentence and doesn’t let up until the last."--Mystery News
"Duane Swierczynski's new novel, THE BLONDE, is as lean as a starving model, mean as a snake, and fast as a jet. It's also one hell of fine read. This guy has got to be the hottest new thing in crime fiction, and THE BLONDE is one of the best crime reads I've had in some time."--Joe R. Lansdale, bestselling author of THE BOTTOMS
哈哈,这个书名的看点想必是在“血腥”二字,诚然书中也有不少暴力场面,但是血腥程度并不算很高,也就跟《杀死比尔》差不多吧。 主要的看点还是主角这个没啥本事的普通人如何在绝境中努力活下去。另外由于故事发生选在一幢写字楼的某公司办公室,场景很真实,跟荒诞的情节形...
