Great opening line:
“I turned the Chrysler onto the Florida Turnpike with Rollo Kramer’s headless body in the trunk, and all the time I’m thinking I should’ve put some plastic down.”

Poor Charlie. His boss is being squeezed out by a guy from Miami, all his buddies are dead, and his workplace has been burned to the ground. And he is running around trying to find out what happened and why! And the answers are none too forthcoming!

A quick paced, action-filled read! A good main character, and an even better supporting character in the "New Guy"! And I very much enjoyed the killing scene set to Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line"! That added quite a bit of corpses to an already high body count in this book! I liked the ending too!
Maybe I'll check out the movie next...… (más)

The Deputy by Victor Gischler

Toby has a normal mediocre life. A bit dull (He is) stuck in a rut and yearning for change. He faces life full force, not quite sure where he is heading.

While working part time for the local Sheriff in his small town, incidents occur and bad people as after him. Life is no longer dull as he tries to navigate and do what is right.

Moving at a fast pace, with true to life dialog, flawed characters and non stop action. Classic crime noir at its best. I was hooked from the first page, cheering Toby on along the way.

I highly recommend The Deputy to those who enjoy crime fiction. A good read!… (más)
