Try This Tough Guy

One of the Library staff members has been raving about Bob Trueluck’s series about Florida Private Investigator, Duncan Sloan. She says they are reminiscent of Dashiel Hammett with a noir atmosphere and terse sentences. So if you like to read about tough guys with a heart of gold; give this offbeat series a try.

"Despite the up-to-date contemporary setting, Truluck's style recalls that of Mickey Spillane in its straight-ahead, get-it-done fashion. The dialogue crackles with staccato sentences, flip wit, the ever-present tension of violence and sex. Readers can expect a nonstop thrill ride with a skilled driver at the wheel, and lots of collateral damage before the checkered flag." Publishers Weekly
