My Review
Comprising elements of rural noir akin to Daniel Woodrell with characters reminiscent of those in Anthony Neil Smith's Billy Lafitte series, 101 by Tom Pitts is a must read neo-noir.
Jerry on the run from a biker gang in San Francisco heads to the hills, seeking refuge with him mom's old friend, Vic, a prominent pot farmer with a dark and dangerous past.
Unbeknownst to Vic, playing host to this guy on the lamb is more trouble than its worth. As the reason for Jerry's exile slowly bleeds out over the course of the story so does the blood of his protectors, along with that of his own mother.
Bikers, Russian drug lords, and the San Francisco PD all want a piece of the action in what is a very entertaining and well paced novel.
Bullets fly, bodies drop, pot is smoked, and booze is consumed in a violent romp hidden in the Humboldt Country hills.
My rating: 5/5 stars, 101 hits you like a fist to the face, leaving you with a sloppy punch-drunk grin, happily awaiting round two.
