I knew I was going to enjoy DONNYBROOK. The cover alone guaranteed that. Of course, Frank Bill has been getting a ton of positive buzz among the various crime fiction sites and blogs that I frequent. So it was a given that I would enjoy DONNYBROOK.

I didn't know how much, though. I mean, I dug this book in ways that I haven't dug a book in a long time. That's saying something, because I have been on a hot-hot-HOT streak. I have been reading some terrific stuff, from crime writers new and old, books new and old. I have been devouring some top notch stuff and still, still! Frank Bill just blew me away.

DONNYBROOK is that awesome, plus some.

Rage and methamphetamine fueled bare knuckle fighters, most of whom are also packing shotguns and forty-fives tucked in next to their bad attitudes. Every one is more badass than the next; mix in a huge bag of meth, buckets of cash from a backwoods illegal fight club, almost more grudges can be counted, some womenfolk as cunning and vicious as they are curvy, a hillbilly shaman and a Hong Kong Triad enforcer...

Don't read my review, I can't do the book justice and I don't want to spoil a thing. Just know that I am jealous of you, because now you get to read DONNYBROOK for the first time. And that's awesome.

A last tip - use Sam Elliot's voice for the narration in your head, exactly as he sounds in THE BIG LEBOWSKI.
