'€œLike Carl Hiaasen, Berney delights in the cartoonish. Like Elmore Leonard, he can drive a plot. What sets him apart is how well he evokes love, making the romance'€¦as compelling as the mystery.'€ '€”Boston Globe Lou Berney immediately earned a seat of honor at the mystery masters'€™ table with his crackling caper novel, Gutshot Straight'€”a lightning-fast, fiendishly clever suspenser that screamed for a sequel. And here it is. Former professional wheel man Charles '€œShake'€ Bouchon is back, living in the Caribbean paradise of Belize with his lawless past far behind him'€”until a gunshot tears through his beachside restaurant and he'€™s on the run again. A twisting tale filled with lawmen, con men, and hit men; a beautiful but deadly FBI agent; and a murderous thug named Baby Jesus, Whiplash River recalls the best of the off-the-wall crime fiction impresarios'€”Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, James W. Hall, Robert Ferrigno, Tim Dorsey'€”while establishing its own unique orbit in the noir universe.
