Rumrunners

Smokey and the Bandit meets Justified and Fargo in this violent crime-family saga.

Meet the McGraws. They're not criminals. They're outlaws. They have made a living by driving anything and everything for the Stanleys, the criminal family who has been employing them for decades. It's ended with Tucker. He's gone straight, much to the disappointment of his father, Webb.

When Webb vanishes after a job, and with him a truck load of drugs, the Stanleys want their drugs back or their money. With the help from his grandfather, Calvin-the original lead foot-Tucker is about to learn a whole lot about the family business in a crash course that might just get him killed.

"Buckle up...RUMRUNNERS is a fast and furious read." Samuel W. Gailey, author of Deep Winter "Rumrunners just never lets up. It's a fuel-injected, mile-a-minute thrill ride. I had a blast." Grant Jerkins, author of A Very Simple Crime and Done In One "Few contemporary writers do justice to the noir tradition the way Eric Beetner does. Others try to emulate and mimic; Beetner just takes the form and cuts his own jagged, raw and utterly readable path. RUMRUNNERS is the latest example of his great storytelling skills, and his uncompromising commitment to the dark, often violent truth at the center of the human heart." Gar Anthony Haywood, author of Assume Nothing, Cemetery Road and the Aaron Gunner series "Beetner is an old school talent, a crime writer's crime writer like Gil Brewer (although, in my humble opinion, he's better than Brewer), who writes stuff that is fast and funny and dark all at once." Jake Hinkson, author of Hell On Church St. and The Big Ugly
