Description

Reveling in crazy shenanigans and hilariously off kilter heroes, Shoveling Smoke (now in paperback) does for East Arizona what Carl Hiaasen's books do for South Florida. Burned out corporate attorney Clay Parker chucks everything and goes from Houston to some little company in a dusty small-town, trying to find his lost strength and an easier existence. Alternatively, he gets in the centre of the bungled scam situation protecting the completely unpleasant and dishonest Bevo Rasmussen, accused of torching the stables housing his over-covered thoroughbreds. Instantly faced with crazy survivalists, corrupt authorities, an inexperienced hit-man, an emu, and a bare state worker, along with a variety of excellent barbecue and vengeful spouses, Clay finds that nothing is what it appears to become.
