You think you have troubles? Just be glad you're not Brendan Fishback, who's accused of the murder of the daughter of one of the most powerful me in Yellow Snake, Tennessee. Brendan's not entirely sure he didn't kill Ashleigh Sizemore because after they smoked a little pot and had sex, he passed out. When he work up, she was dead.Now out on bail, Brendan goes fishing at Lake Charles (not the one in Louisiana) with his twin sister, Edna, and her husband. Edna disappears, and Brendan and her husband go looking for her. Before long, Brendan has two dead bodies on his hands, and he still hasn't found Edna. He enlists the help of his brother-in-law's father, a guy with a secret past and an arsenal that a Bond villain would admire.
The setting in this one is different and well drawn, and you'll be drawn into the story as Brendan tries to find out what really happened to Ashleigh Sizemore and to his sister. Good stuff from Ed Lynskey, and recommended hardboiled reading.
