Perfect for you if...

You love character-driven thrillers where the hunted man is as compelling as the hunt itself.
You appreciate 1990s crime fiction that balances visceral action with genuine human vulnerability.
You're drawn to stories about veterans grappling with the psychological wreckage of war, not just its immediate aftermath.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots where motivation is secondary to spectacle.
You're looking for a straightforward good-versus-evil narrative without moral grey areas.
You find Southern Gothic settings and dialect-heavy prose exhausting rather than atmospheric.

About this book

Dan Lambert, a Vietnam veteran, struggles two decades after his service in Southeast Asia. Living in Louisiana during a brutal summer, he works construction jobs while managing the effects of Agent Orange–caused leukemia, a terminal condition. When his bank attempts to repossess his truck, a confrontation with the loan officer triggers a violent outburst that leaves the banker shot. Dan flees into the bayou. Pursued by two bounty hunters—a former Siamese twin and a heavyset Elvis impersonator—Dan must evade capture while confronting what makes his life worth saving.
