Allow me to recommend a great read for the holidays (or anytime for that matter): Fields Where They Lay, the latest Junior Bender mystery by my good friend Tim Hallinan.
The story unfolds in a dying shopping mall in the last few days before Christmas. The plot involves extortion, Russian mobsters, theft, betrayal, murder, and a couple of intriguing fake Santas. Junior Bender is one of the best series characters in today’s crime fiction, and as always with a Tim Hallinan novel, the writing is terrific.
Buy it. Read it. Better yet, give copies to all of your friends who can read.
You can order it here.
