Gutshot Straight: A Novel

€œLou 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.€
€"Stephen Harrigan, New York Times bestselling author of Challenger Park

A fast and funny caper in the tradition of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, and the Coen Brothers, Gutshot Straight brings a fresh new talent into the crime fiction fold: Louis Berney. He€s already won raves for his short fiction collection The Road to Bobby Joe and Other Stories (€œRivals the work of contemporary hotshots T.C. Boyle and Ralph Lombreglia€ €"Chicago Tribune). With Gutshot Straight, Berney is €œall in€€"sure to win a fervent following with the story of €œShake€ Bouchon, fresh out of prison and on the straight and narrow path€¦after maybe just one last job.
