An eight fingered piano player, sworn off dames and on the lamb, ends up in a broken down swamp tonk only to find himself knee deep in moonshine, deceit, adultery and murder. Damn. What more could you possibly want? How about a humongous monster alligator named Big George with a taste for human flesh. Yeah, that should round it out nicely.
This was really a great story. A short but hard hitting and well written tale of noir on the bayou. Adam Howe makes it look easy. I am looking forward to reading more from this author. A Solid 4+ Stars and Highly Recommended.
