Review
Despite the trappings -- guns, stakeouts, an ex-con, a private eye, a porn ring, a shootout -- this isn't an ordinary suspense novel. It's a lean, effective character study about a man who risks his comfortable life to pursue something half-glimpsed within his psyche. He feels guilty about his father's suicide, he doubts his ability to raise his own son, and now he's mixed up with another father, whose son has gone into a place of great darkness. A stirring tale in which actions have consequences, and no one is left unchanged by the things that they see and do.

Condition: Fair. From the Edgar Award-winning author of the Hap and Leonard mysteries comes a shocking crime thriller to chill the even the warmest summer's night.

Hall (Dexter) Sam Shepard (Black Hawk Down), and Don Johnson (Miami Vice). Richard Dane has killed a man. He cannot unhear the firing of the gun or unsee the blood on his living room wall. But everybody in the small town of LaBorde, Texas knows Dane acted in self defense. Everybody except Ben Russel, the ex-con father of the small-time criminal who invaded Dane's home. When Russel comes looking for revenge against Dane's family, the two are unexpectedly drawn into a conspiracy that conceals the vilest of crimes. Surrounded by police corruption, mafia deception, and underworld brutality, Dane, Russel, and eccentric PI Jim Bob Luke have discovered a game they may not survive. Seller Inventory # 00108171757

Richard Dane shoots a prowler in his living room one night, and the dead man's father swears revenge, until the two are suddenly forced to become allies. There's no doubt it's self-defense. But the death of the intruder, a small-time punk, ignites a bizarre chain of events. It starts when thief's father, Ben Russel, a hardened ex-con, threatens to take and eye for an eye by slaying Dane's son. Then the chain twists again, shattering all expectations and throwing Dan and Russel into a violent race without rules. And toward a strange and grisly, dark and inevitable truth.
