Gavin, Rick

Deadly—yet wacky—mayhem ensues when meaner-than-a-junkyard-dog Boudrot escapes jail, planning to get even with Nick, the repo man, and his buddy Desmond...

Gavin’s captivating style and colloquial voice add a wonderful dimension to Southern regional literature. This will certainly seal his growing reputation in the humorous crime genre. [See Prepub Alert, 7/2/12.]

Gavin's first novel is a sure winner. Reminiscent of Tim Dorsey's "Serge Storms" series but with a more likable protagonist, it will appeal to down-home good old boys and their armchair counterparts. Recommended. [A Minotaur First Edition Selection; library marketing.]
