    About this audiobook

    Return to McFalls County and Bull Mountain in Hard Cash Valley, where Brian Panowich weaves another masterful tale of Southern Noir.

    Dane Kirby is a broken man and no stranger to tragedy. As a life-long resident and ex-arson investigator for McFalls County, Dane has lived his life in one of the most chaotic and crime-ridden regions of the south. When he gets called in to consult on a brutal murder in a Jacksonville, Florida, motel room, he and his FBI counterpart, Special Agent Roselita Velasquez, begin an investigation that leads them back to the criminal circles of his own backyard.

    Arnie Blackwell’s murder in Jacksonville is only the beginning – and Dane and Roselita seem to be one step behind. For someone is hacking a bloody trail throughout the Southeast looking for Arnie’s younger brother, a boy with Asperger’s Syndrome who possesses an unusual skill with numbers that could make a lot of money and that has already gotten a lot of people killed—and has even more of the deadliest people alive willing to do anything it takes to exploit him.

    As Dane joins in the hunt to find the boy, it swiftly becomes a race against the clock that has Dane entangled in a web of secrets involving everyone from the Filipino Mafia to distrusting federal agents to some of hardest southern outlaws he’s ever known.

      Awesome book!
      I was thinking a little more western when I seen the cover of it. But it’s so much more then a western. It’s modern and redneck. Cock fights. Drama. Backstory. It’s a good audio!
    • 5/5
      Brian Panowich is genuine master storyteller. His books throb with a genuine humanity covering love, loss, family, friendship and all that makes us human. This is the third book in this series and like the two that came before Bull Mountain and Like A Like Lion. These books will live on in your heart and memories long after you’ve read the last page.

      Lovely story. I’ve only given a few 5 stars and this is one of them.
