The brilliant debut novel from the critically acclaimed author of City of Thieves and When the Nines Roll Over and the co-creator of the HBO series Game of Thrones, adapted as a feature film by Spike Lee starring Edward Norton and Philip Seymour Hoffman

"Novels like The 25th Hour don't fall out of trees every day. The tone is dark and intense; its elegant style is cut on the raw side; and the characters come from places we've all been." -The New York Times

All Monty Brogan ever really wanted when he grew up was to be a fireman. Now he's about to start a seven-year stretch in the federal penitentiary for drug dealing. With just twenty-four hours of freedom to go, he prowls the city with his girlfriend and his two best friends from high school-a high-flying bond trader and an idealistic teacher. As the minutes count down, Monty seizes one last chance to stack the odds in his favor.

Hurtling from the money pits of Wall Street to Manhattan's downtown lounge and club scene, from the enclaves of the Russian mob to the old immigrant neighborhoods, The 25th Hour evokes the pulsing rhythms and diamond-hard edges of a city in the raw, illusory hours between midnight and dawn. A taut and mesmerizing tale of an urban purgatory suspended between the crime and the punishment, The 25th Hour is a major player in contemporary noir fiction from the author of the bestselling novel City of Thieves and the short story collection When the Nines Roll Over.

Review:

"Captivating . . . A pungent, funny, urban tableau full of shrewd operators and unfulfilled desires." (The New York Times)

"Tight and crisp . . . . The 25th Hour shines. It couldn't get much better." (San Francisco Chronicle)

"Remarkable . . . A darkly human novel that ends up more about hope than about cynicism." (The Denver Post)

From the Publisher:

This is a novel that stays with you a long time after reading it; it's not quite a crime novel, though there's crime in it, it's not quite a thriller, though aspects of it are certainly thrilling. It's atmospheric, thought-provoking, with wonderfully realised characters that fill Monty Brogan's life as he walks through the streets of snowy Manhattan in the last 24 hours before he goes to prison. It's a beautifully written yet very simple novel, and David Benioff is a writer to watch.
