I read the sequel, SIX BAD THINGS, which as I understand it
picks up where the first left off, about year later. Hank is
living in Mexico, trying to keep a low profile, when a
Russian turns up, asking questions. A few dead bodies later,
he goes on the run and ends up in the States again, trying to
save his parents and not let the Russians get back the money.
I really enjoyed the book. The Maltese Falcon on crack blurb
is pretty accurrate.
Then I read Huston's private detective/noir/horror
novel, ALREADY DEAD.
Imagine Elvis Cole on a four day meth bender and a
cattle prod up his ass. That's before it gets really wild
though.
Joe Pitt is a vampire PI who tries to maintain his
indepedence and not align with any of the vampire factions
which rule Manhattan after dark. When the most powerful clan,
The Coalition, hires him to find the missing daughter of a
Park Avenue socialite, Pitt gets mixed up in a vicious turf
war between the warring vampire factions.
The book contains one of the funniest scenes I have
ever read, a three or four paragraph section where Pitt
argues with the leaders of the politically correct vampire
clan.

davezelt@comcast.net Anyone else read this? Very very
impressive book. One of the blurbs on the backcover "reads
like The Maltese Falcon on crack" is pretty accurate.
