Especially not Denis Carroll, proprietor of The Brass Lantern, a dive bar in a bleak southern Illinois town. Five years ago Denis gunned down a dirtbag who was attempting to hold up his bar. At least that's what the cops think.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e After the shooting, Denis' hotheaded younger brother, Vince, insisted on taking the rap. No big deal. He'd plead self-defense. Case closed. What the Carrolls didn't count on was the cops discovering a huge stash of weed in a back room, locally sourced marijuana the Carrolls peddled \"to make ends meet.\" Weed supplied by the psychotic Goodwin Brothers, Clay and Randy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Vince ended up taking the fall for that, too.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With Vince behind bars and Denis promising to keep his nose clean, the Goodwins turn to blackmail to force the Carrolls back into the illegal drug trade. Play along or the Goodwin Brothers (one of whom witnessed the shooting at the bar) will finger Denis as a murderer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Meanwhile the Goodwins have troubles of their own, specifically their niece, Erica. As a child, Erica witnessed her sister being sexually abused by her Uncle Clay. As a young woman, she saw her fiancé shot down at a local bar by one of the Carrolls. Erica is determined to get revenge on both men. How much better if she can kill two birds with one stone--get rid of her uncle and pin his murder on that murderous bar owner?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this darkly humorous small-town noir everyone has something to hide and nothing is as it seems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Orlet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1946502928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781946502926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e All Due Respect\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.66d","brand":"Chris Orlet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48152929009919,"sku":"9781946502926","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_55f0e314-3a64-49f8-a0de-cafc3c3725b2.jpg?v=1770780139","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-taste-of-shotgun-chris-orlet-9781946502926","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
