Nominated for best first book
This is the first in a one-of-a-kind, spectacularly well-
written mystery series featuring Buck Schatz, an 87-year-
old retired Memphis cop with a know-it-all plugged-in
grandson as his sidekick. When Buck learns that an old adversary may have escaped
Germany with a fortune in stolen gold, Buck decides to hunt
down the fugitive and claim the loot. But lots of people
want a piece of the stolen treasure, and Buck’s
investigation quickly attracts unfriendly attention from a
Mississippi loan shark, a seven-foot tall Hasidic Jew and a
bloodthirsty maniac hell-bent on rubbing out everybody who
knows anything about the stolen gold. This is sure to be a big hit with readers who love Elmore
Leonard, Walter Mosley, early Jonathan Lethem and
superlative detective fiction in general.
