Description
Rick Gavin is the master of a genre he invented—the raucous Delta
noir.
A few months ago Nick Reid and his compadre Desmond liberated some
money from a nasty meth dealer, and now they need to launder it. After lending
out a couple of thousand here and there, with hope of getting a small return,
all kinds of “investment opportunities” are coming out of the woodwork. And one
of them has trouble written all over it.
The brother of Desmond’s ex-wife
wants a small sum to set up a scheme involving a trailer full of stolen
tires. Which sets off all kinds of alarm bells, but Shawnica insists that Nick
and Desmond help him out. In the next few days, they are set upon by a ninja
schoolgirl assassin and a couple of Delta gangsters. Soon all thought of
recouping their investment goes out the window, and they’ll settle for staying
alive.
The twists and turns and the dry wit that made Ranchero a
delight are all on display once again in Rick Gavin’s latest.
Advance Praise
“Hilarious . . . The irresistible Ranchero has the humor of a tall tale told by Mark Twain.” —The Wall Street Journal
“Gavin turns out phrase after phrase of ear-pleasing insight into the Delta and those who live there . . . And when Gavin waxes funny, he really is funny.” —The Associated Press
