Oh yes...Jackson rules, in my humble opinion.
This is the order: Die Hard, Blind Pig, Grootka, Hit on the
House, Deadman, Dead Folks, Man with An Axe. A new one is
supposed to be out this summer, LaDonna Detroit. Grootka's
probably the best one; Dead Folks is probably the weakest;
but I think they're all really good. He's also written a
novel about the Wobblies, Go By Go, that I liked a lot.
Finally, there's a slim volume of his that I consider one of
the jewels of my collection, Riding with Ray. It includes a
Fang short story but, more important, a memoir of Jackson's
friendship with Raymond Carver.
Later...Kip

Subject: RARA-AVIS: Jon Jackson
Just discovered Jon Jackson's Fang Mulheisen series. Recently
read
"Deadman". Fast paced, interesting characters, makes me want
to go Montanna. Liked it enough to get another, "Hit on the
House". I've only read about 10 pages and so far, this one is
a winner too. Only thing, now I think I should have read his
books in order.
Amazon has very little information on his books. Is anyone
familiar with his books that are not in the series?
