Supermax: The Max and Angela Trilogy is a pitch-black crime comedy from two of the hottest thriller writers on either side of the Atlantic. These newly collected cult novels are a bloody, bawdy odyssey of drug dealing, adultery, and murder for fans of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, and Bret Easton Ellis’s American Psycho.

The most outrageous crime story ever told...

In a single volume for the first time!

When a small-time businessman who’s a legend in his own mind (that would be Max) hatches a plan with his sexpot secretary (that’s Angela) to murder his wife and live happily ever after, you might think everything would go smoothly. However, Max and Angela are in for the ride of their lives. An escalating series of bad decisions and worse luck plunges them into a tsunami of crime and depravity. This features IRA hitmen, an aspiring serial killer, a wheelchair-bound blackmailer, trigger-happy drug dealers, and the warring factions in one of the world’s deadliest prisons.
