Southern Fried Felonies II: A Barn Without Cattle (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798872076230)

Southern Fried Felonies: A Barn Without Cattle is author Clay Mercer's second book in the Southern Fried Felonies series. A Barn Without Cattle tells the story of two lonely young people brought together by the intricacies of life and the traditions of the culture in the American South. Buckner "Buck" Taylor is a young man whose life is proceeding exactly as he had planned, even as a child, when the untimely passing of his father upends his entire life. Buck, a career law enforcement officer, is well schooled in the formalities of Southern Culture, but reveals himself to be rather clumsy in handling his relationships. When Buck returns to his small hometown to settle his father's affairs, he finds himself at a crossroads, career wise, a situation which is complicated by the presence of Marianne Rainey, a childhood schoolmate and divorcé, who provides company and comfort to Buck in his hour of grief.

Says Mercer, "The concept of doing a series of crime stories set in the South took root several years ago as I was brainstorming with a friend about a title for a work in progress. That story, a tale of a ne'er do well con man, was eventually published under the title of Natural Born Crazy. However, among the titles suggested by my friend Jason Echols was Southern Fried Felonies, which seemed a natural title for a collection of short stories. When my next project, A Barn Without Cattle, began to take shape, I decided to attach it to the Felonies concept and have a shot at a series of books."

Southern Friend Felonies: A Barn Without Cattle continues Mercer's custom of including characters from throughout his literary domain, Cason Williams, Brian Edwards, Trav James, and so forth. This book is definitely a "don't miss" for Mercer's expanding fan base.
