J.D. Scrbacek has just won the biggest trial of his career, but even as he crows to the press, his entire life blows sky-high. Was the bomb meant for him, or for his mobster client? In this seaside casino town where the tables run hot and the tensions run high, the odds say the attorney is a marked man.
Alone and on the run, Scrbacek flees into the city’s forgotten underbelly, a ruined corridor called Crapstown, where he is forced to confront the ghosts of his past, his present, and his future. Somewhere in the sordid stream of his own existence lie the answers he needs. But in order to emerge from the depths of Crapstown, Scrbacek must argue for his life before a jury of the forgotten and the damned. Is he lawyer enough to save his own skin?
From the bestselling author of The Barkeep comes a raucous tale of reckoning, racketeering, and revenge.

“Opens with a blistering trial scene...After the razzle-dazzle opening, Lashner slips into a thoughtful reflection on the failings of the legal system...There is also lively action, great steamy sex, and witty dialogue. The phrasemaking is dazzling.” —Booklist
“This thriller from Edgar finalist Lashner (Guaranteed Heroes) pits defense lawyer J.D. Scrbacek against unseen and unknown enemies out to destroy him...Lashner melds a nightmarish vision of a city riven by greed and poverty with serious discussions of criminal law and its practice and its corruption.” —Publishers Weekly
“The Four-Night Run has it all: unrelenting, unblinking violence; occasional grim humor; middle-aged angst; and a cast of characters too surreal to be anything other than a hundred percent true to life.” —Bookreporter
