PRAISE FOR "HAIL STORME"
"Cadenced prose, an Ozarks setting, a football-star drop-out hero" and a small-town, drug-related plot add up to a most interesting debut. Tough guy Wyatt Storme, with few sleuthlike qualifications other than athletic principle, divides his time between Colorado and Paradise, Missouri. Having reported the existence of a marijuana field to the local sheriff, Wyatt further involves himself in local affairs when someone then murders the sheriff. A dry-witted bounty hunter, a pea-brained sheriff's deputy, Paradise thugs, and various federal agents make for lively, if not unexpected, adventure. An undeniable treat" Library Journal
"Here's one for the boys who like to kick butt. As much joyful bashing as it is 'Red Harvest' on uppers, though completely innocent of Hammett's dark vision. Fighting the good fight has seldom been so much atavistic fun!" Kirkus Reviews
"Storme is one of my all-time favorite series characters, up there with Spenser and Dave Robicheaux," Ace Atkins, NY Times bestselling author of "Robert B. Parker's Kickback."
