"In James Colbert's latest suspense novel, the unsuspecting reader will chance upon blondes, naked and well-oiled on chaise lounges, arsonists for hire, redneck vigilantes with IQs no bigger than their zap guns, and a hero as bizarre as they come. In the novel's opening pages, Skinny is on suspension from having totaled his patrol car---Skinny's fifth suspension in 11 years. Born and raised in Gentilly, a racially mixed neighborhood, the pale-faced and gangly Skinny---six foot two, one hundred and twenty-five pounds---learned early that a properly swung Louisville Slugger "substantially improved many of his personal relations." Booted out of Tulane University for taking on an entire fraternity with the aforementioned slugger, Skinny has a certain uneasiness around the privileged and genteel. Brash, unpredictable, and oddly principled, Skinny never refers to himself in the first-person, a habit as endearing as it is eccentric. It is on day two of his 32-day suspension that Skinny is called in to investigate a fire that killed a man. He soon finds himself in a maze of public and personal duplicity, from insurance fraud, to real estate shenanignas, to angry, heady love." "... you miss this one, you've cheated yourself."---Andrew Vachss" [from back of case cover]« less
