Westlake delivers a masterpiece with this brilliant, laser-sharp tale of the deadly consequences of corporate downsizing. Burke Devore is a middle-aged manager at a paper company when the cost-cutting ax falls, and he is laid off. Eighteen months later and still unemployed, he puts a new spin on his job search -- with agonizing care, Devore finds the seven men in the surrounding area who could take the job that rightfully should be his, and systematically kills them. Transforming himself from mild-mannered middle manager to ruthless murderer, he discovers skills ne never knew ne had -- and that come to him far too easily.","brand":"Mysterious Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39903926747206,"sku":"2322988","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2322988.jpg?v=1647833340","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/the-ax","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
