THE THREE-DAY AFFAIR
Will, Jeffrey, and Nolan are lifelong friends, now nine years post-college and forging their own careers. They have no reason to believe anything extraordinary will befall them—until one night when Jeffrey attempts to rob a convenience store, drags a young woman into Will’s car, and shouts a single word: “Drive!” Shaken and confused, Will obeys.
Suddenly, three ordinary men find themselves completely out of their element. They are already guilty of kidnapping and robbery; it is only a matter of time before they find out just what else they’re capable of. For these four people, three days will decide their fate—between freedom and prison, innocence and guilt . . . and life and death.
REVIEWS & PRAISE
“The Three-Day Affair never stops roaring, the pages blurring by, dangerously accelerating.”
—Esquire (A Best Book of 2012)
“A momentary lapse of judgment leads to dire consequences in Kardos’s excellent first novel, a crime thriller sure to please fans of Scott Smith’s A Simple Plan . . . Kardos makes the most of his intriguing setup, populated with plausible characters and enhanced by a vicious closing sting.”
—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
“It is an impressive debut. But what’s more important is that this is simply a great novel. It does what great books should–makes you resent time spent away from it.”
—The Star Ledger
