eleellis's review against another edition
4.0
The Wrong Man by Matthew Louis is a crime fiction novel detailing what happens when a decent man gets drawn into terrible incidents through no fault of his own and is expected to commits acts against his nature just to survive.
Sam Schuler is a young man working in a convenient liquor store while trying to save enough money to start his life with his pregnant girlfriend.
After he is dragged to a house party by a childhood, perpetually down on his luck friend, he is pulled into a nightmare of violence because of actions by his friend. Unbeknown to Schuler, while at the house party, his friend has stolen illicit drugs belonging to gang leader Owen Ferguson.
Ferguson is well known to Schuler and one to tread lightly around due to his willingness to use violence.
Schuler soon finds himself being targeted by Ferguson and his violent gang in a feud that soon ends up being more about respect and reputation than that of the cost of the drugs.
The Wrong Man is a morality tale in the vein of the writing of George Pelecanos and crime writers telling stories where acts of violence leave marks - both physically and mentally.
Recommended to readers of crime novels that prefer their violence to have meaning rather than be a garnish.
