With "vivid scenery and realistic dialogue" this rural crime noir novel "evocatively shows how a regional mystery can incisively explore an area." â
Washington Post
One hot summer day, in his home in the southern Illinois coal country known as Little Egyptâa Midwest Gothic wonderland of barren vistas, sinister hollows, petty corruption, and deeply strange charactersâthe self-appointed "redneck detective" known as Slim gets a visit from a shady-looking pair looking to hire him to find a missing dog. As a miner with a reputation for "bloodhounding"âtracking down missing persons the police can't find or won'tâSlim is accustomed to looking for people, not pets. On the other hand, he needs the cash to fix his air conditioner. But when he pulls the thread that leads to the red-haired purebred pitbullâand then the dognapper is discovered with his head blown offâSlim finds himself plunged into a world of underground dogfights and white supremacists . . . all because he just wanted to get cool.
"Hats off to a devilishly clever plot. A nice mix of hard-boiled action and Holmes homage." â
