I enjoyed reading this book and getting to know the characters.Nat Cinder and his son have to fight for justice and they lives throughoutThe story.Politics has become big business. As Nat says we are basically votingfor a candidate and hoping they are the lesser of two evils.I wish all the issues had been resolvd.

Great character depictions and a story that I desperately wanted to end on a positive note. Ah well, I will look forwarding to reading what happens to the Governor in the next installment.

This writer has been my fave for the last year. His rural noir is the best out there. Here, he switches gears a bit, upping the pace and character count to mix a bit of Elmore Leonard into his trademark gritty noir.There’s great Ross Thomas-style political themes here, which is also new. I spent a couple seconds trying to figure out if the any or all of the characters’ paranoid anti-government/anti-immigration stances reflected the author’s but quickly realized it matters not. The cliched bit about the lesbian being lesbian because of molestation bugged me, but I got over it. The author is good at intelligently covering many sides of the various issues he writes into his characters’ heads, but as usual has no mercy when it comes to out and out evil.Loved it!!!!

This book finishes a close second to Solomon Bull. A gripping story with truely despicable villains and a hero who is both flawed and redeemable. The plot illustrates what I have long believed is the big picture plan behind the liberal approach to illegal immigration and open borders. Like Solomon this story begs for a sequel. At least.

We just had a snowstorm that closed 7 counties. I spent the night watching it snow and being transfixed by your story and the characters. What a wonderful ability to be able to write so the reader feels like they are watching from a distance.Thank you
