Gutshot Straight

<p>Lou Berney's 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.<br />--Stephen Harrigan <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Challenger Park</em><br /><br />A fast and funny caper in the tradition of Elmore Leonard Carl Hiaasen and the Coen Brothers <em>Gutshot Straight </em>brings a fresh new talent into the crime fiction fold: Louis Berney. He's already won raves for his short fiction collection <em>The Road to Bobby Joe and Other Stories </em>(Rivals the work of contemporary hotshots T.C. Boyle and Ralph Lombreglia --<em>Chicago Tribune</em>). With <em>Gutshot Straight </em>Berney is all in--sure to win a fervent following with the story of Shake Bouchon fresh out of prison and on the straight and narrow path...after maybe just <em>one</em> last job.<p></p></p>
