With Big Flies, you get two stories in one. The Before and After in a combined "meanwhile, back at the ranch" style that is both entertaining and helps move the stories along. Leland is trying to deal with the gaps in his father's past while wondering how he could have been so oblivious. But he's catching on fast and the more he discovers, the more exciting the tale. Could his good fortune really have come from such ill-gotten gains? And if it were you, would you feel guilty? This is a well-paced, free-flowing read with switchbacks and surprises a'plenty. Hirshland has created some fascinating characters here.
