Hard Cash Valley

''The plotting is skilled, as is the sleuthing, and the landscape is stunning. But it''s the hard-jawed characters, with their tough talk and scarred souls, who really get under your skin'' - Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review

Return to McFalls County and Bull Mountain in Hard Cash Valley, where Brian Panowich weaves another masterful tale of Southern Noir.

Dane Kirby is a broken man and no stranger to tragedy. As a life-long resident and ex-arson investigator for McFalls County, Dane has lived his life in one of the most chaotic and crime-ridden regions of the south. When he gets called in to consult on a brutal murder in a Jacksonville, Florida, motel room, he and his FBI counterpart, Special Agent Roselita Velasquez, begin an investigation that leads them back to the criminal circles of his own backyard.
