What sets him apart is how well he evokes love, making the romance…as compelling as the mystery.”\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLou Berney immediately earned a seat of honor at the mystery masters’ table with his crackling caper novel, \u003ci\u003eGutshot Straight\u003c\/i\u003e—a lightning-fast, fiendishly clever humorous thriller that screamed for a sequel. And here it is. Former professional wheel man Charles “Shake” 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. This twisting tale of crime fiction, filled with lawmen, con men, and  hit men; a beautiful but deadly FBI agent; and a murderous thug named Baby Jesus, \u003ci\u003eWhiplash River\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lou Berney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46908565749909,"sku":"9780062115294","price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780062115294_22e0d03a-adf5-4f32-8f2a-11c385469dbe.jpg?v=1776890091","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780062115294_whiplash-river","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
