They Left Me For Dead

A crime noir mystery

Herausgeber: Zimmerman, Lee

Beschreibung

This hardboiled noir crime novel, set in the arid West Texas scrublands, dives deep into dark, dangerous places populated by a host of seedy and corrupt characters. Featuring a new breed of frontier hero drawn into a tangled web of murder, corruption, and betrayal, the novel's earthy realism and harsh reality explore the dark underbelly of a corrupt world. Whether fighting to avoid the hordes of Assassin Bugs that have colonized the region, or working to stay one step ahead of drug-dealers, Mafia hitmen and Mexican cartels, our hero is finding life in this sleepy area of the southern US isn't quite as peaceful as appearances suggest.
