In 2002, his graphic novel Road to Perdition was adapted into an Academy-Award winning film, starring Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Jude Law and Daniel Craig. He lives in Iowa, USA.
"Even early in his career, Collins displays here the ability
to combine nifty plot machinations with superb character building
of both principal and supporting players. Thoroughly
entertaining hard-boiled fare." --Booklist
"Honest pulp." - Kirkus Reviews
"Fans of old-school, hard-edged heist yarns will have fun."
Publishers Weekly
