"Strong plotting, solid characters and hard-boiled dialogue worthy of Elmore
Leonard or John D. MacDonald."--Publishers Weekly

"If Knopf is influenced by Dashiell Hammett and Elmore Leonard, he also shows affinity for
lyrical prose."--The Independent

Sam Acquillo--ex-boxer, ex-corporate executive, and accidental hero of The Last Refuge
--can't seem to stay out of trouble. All he really wants to do is hammer a few nails into
his ramshackle cottage, drink a great deal of vodka, and hang out with his dog, Eddie. But
when a car bomb outside a trendy waterfront restaurant kills a prominent financial consultant,
injuring Sam and his lawyer friend, he is drawn into the investigation. Where the police have met
roadblocks, Sam makes inroads with his trademark wit, instinct, and charm.

Set against the backdrop of Southampton, Long Island, Two Time is full of moody sunsets,
beachfront properties, and beautiful people with an extraordinary amount of money and very dangerous
secrets.
