BONDAGE

Order BONDAGE

Praise for the feminist crime thriller:

“Searing, heartfelt, and fresh, Bondage roars out of the gate at mach speed and never lets up. Che Horowitz is an unforgettable heroine. Shane Joaquin Jimenez has written a blistering debut.”

Meg Gardiner

#1 New York Times bestselling author

Bondage by Shane Joaquin Jimenez is a vivid, atmospheric tour-de-force. Rich in intense moments, alive with sharp dialogue and, best of all, brimming with sentences that do their deadly work with ferocious clarity, Bondage stuns from its opening scene to its last.”

Laird Hunt

Author of Zorrie and Neverhome

“A masterfully violent, rip-roaring assault on the senses from page one that doesn’t relent until the final line. There’s no time to catch your breath, so you might as well inhale deeply and hold on tight, because Jimenez pulls you into his perilous Las Vegas and won’t unshackle you until he says so. Bondage’s power lies not in the vast carnage but in the deepness of the human heart, which it strips bare.”

Craig Buchner

Author of Brutal Beasts and Fish Cough

"Bondage is pure hard old school noir. Images that glitter and gouge. Words that fester. Phrases that linger and haunt. Lines that stay with you like bullet fragments under the skin. The sort of noir that gets up close to knife you in the belly then sticks around to keep you company while you bleed out."

Will Christopher Baer

Author of the Phineas Poe trilogy

“With believable tension of pursuit and escape, well-choreographed fight scenes and the copper of bloody violence tasted in the mouth, Jimenez’s Bondage is true to the heritage of grisly action pulp novels. A great debut novel.”

Jesse Hilson

Author of Blood Trip

“With sparing prose as his stolen vehicle, Jimenez takes you on a savage drive down the throat of a defunct and abandoned America. Bondage is equal doses disturbing and hypnotic. You'll hate yourself for not being able to put it down. When family bond is as deadly and unforgiving as the deserts of Death Valley, there's only two choices—settle the score, or die trying.
