<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Jack Price is back, and this time he and his Seven Demons are taking on the bank heist of the century. Have an impregnable bank fortress you need robbed? Just call Jack and the Seven Demons. There's Doc, a sexy mad scientist with anger issues; Rex, an explosives expert who doesn't ask too many questions, Volodya, a Ukrainian assassin who may or may not be a cannibal; Charlie, a tech genius with an anarchist bent; Lucille, whose speciality is razor-edged hugs; Fred, a head on a stick; and of course, Jack himself, former coffee-magnate turned cocaine dealer turned head of the most-feared international crime syndicate. They'll get the job done at any price--come rain, or wind, or snow, or untimely death. The demons are nothing if not professional, but if you try to double-cross them and, say, send a blond, lederhosen-wearing, rosy-cheeked kid named evil Hansel to take out their leader... well, let's just say the Demons can be pretty creative when it comes to revenge"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>Jack Price and his Seven Demons, the most dangerous and feared assassins in the world, are taking on the bank heist of the century. </b></b> <p/>Meet Jack Price and the Seven Demons: Doc, the evil mad scientist presently using Jack for sex; Rex, an explosives expert who doesn't ask too many questions so long as something goes boom; Volodya, a Ukrainian assassin who may or may not be a cannibal; Charlie, a comic book artist with computer skills and an anarchist bent; Lucille, whose specialty is razor-edged hugs; and Jack's predecessor, Fred, who doesn't contribute a whole lot owing to being a severed head on a stick. Finally there's Jack himself, former coffee magnate turned cocaine dealer turned First Demon, but basically just a guy trying to get along. <p/>Jack has a problem. The Seven Demons don't have a contract, and there's nothing more volatile than a gang of deadly killers with nothing to do. Luckily, a shadowy Eurotrash businessman wants them to pull off the heist of a lifetime, breaking into a bank that makes Fort Knox look like the corner candy store. Jack thinks this will be a nice little diversion for his crew . . . until a rosy-cheeked, lederhosen-wearing little psychopath named Evil Hansel stabs him with an oyster knife, and the whole situation goes completely to hell. Someone isn't playing straight, and in a game of double crosses, Jack Price will do anything--literally, anything--to come out on top<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for Aidan Truhen's <i>The Price You Pay</i></b> <p/>"Brilliant . . . a high-end thriller, relentlessly knowing, relentlessly brutal.

Guess what: you keep laughing." <b>--Carl Hiaasen, author of <i>Squeeze Me</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>AIDAN TRUHEN lives in London. He worked in commodities of one sort or another until he was thirty, which is an age when a man wants his positive achievements to outnumber his acquittals. He's trying to reinvent himself as a writer. We'll see how it goes.
