Gutshot Straight: A Novel
English
By (author): Lou Berney
Lou Berneys novel is so energetic, so droll, and so wheezingly funny that it accomplished what no book ever has before: it made me forget to eat lunch.
Stephen Harrigan, New York Times bestselling author of Challenger Park
A fast and funny caper in the tradition of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, and the Coen Brothers, Gutshot Straight brings a fresh new talent into the crime fiction fold: Louis Berney. Hes already won raves for his short fiction collection The Road to Bobby Joe and Other Stories (Rivals the work of contemporary hotshots T.C. Boyle and Ralph Lombreglia Chicago Tribune). With Gutshot Straight, Berney is all insure to win a fervent following with the story of Shake Bouchon, fresh out of prison and on the straight and narrow pathafter maybe just one last job.
