Revue de presse :
Dispassionate and compassionate by turns, and always engrossing. Walter's best by far. (Kirkus Reviews)
It's been a long time since I've read a book as compulsively, indeed greedily, as I read CITIZEN VINCE. Here are characters who seem to live of their own volition, who talk out of a terrible inner need to make themselves known and understood, who reveal not just themselves but the yearning heart of our great flawed democracy. (Richard Russo, Pulitzer-Prize winning author of EM)
Intelligently written, bittersweet and thoroughly absorbing. (Seattle Times, on OVER TUMBLED GRAVES)
Jess Walter has just about lapped the field with his superior first novel OVER TUMBLED GRAVES. The suspense and surprises are terrific, but best of all are the characters he has managed to create. (James Patterson on OVER TUMBLED GRAVES)
Walter renders his blind land with a clear-eyed, compassionate vision. (Kirkus Reviews, on LAND OF THE BLIND)
A most accomplished debut. (Sunday Telegraph, on OVER TUMBLED GRAVES)

Vince's real name is Marty Hagen. A career criminal from New Jersey, he has been given a new identity in a sleepy Northwest city by the Witness Protection Program. Since he testified against the hoods he used to run with, his rights have been restored - including his right to vote, something he's never done. For Vince, voting in the Presidential election becomes the most important thing in his life - proof that even a guy like him can change.
But while Vince is busy remaking himself, his past arrives in town in the form of a contract killer that he recognises from his old life. Has he come to kill Vince?
With three days left until the election, Vince must duck crooks, cops (including a younger and fresher-looking Alan Dupree from Over Tumbled Graves) and an implacable killer, as he tries to figure out a way to save himself, and his dreams.
At once a suspenseful crime story, a moving love story and a superb evocation of time and place, Citizen Vince is a truly memorable novel from an acclaimed author.
