Life's Real, True, Excitement....

This book keeps you interested. You hate to lay it down, even to go get a cup of coffee. It's as true to life as life can be. You get the feel for the excitement of the Law and for the Outlaw. If you weren't one of these people,i'm sure you probably knew one or one was kin folk. I have recomended this book to List Members. I plan to read the book again. Would love to talk with the Charlie. Thanks Charlie

Cops and robbers, Dragnet style

Written in the style of a Jack Webb narration on Dragnet, Former ATF Agent Weems spins a tale of greed attracting farmers into an intricate web of crime in the mountains of North Georgia. Often chasing elusive moonshiners through multiple chapters, its gritty realism and Weems expertise add to the pace of the book. By the end of the book, you're cheering for the good guys and booing the bad. A word of caution--pay attention in the early chapters when Weems describes the typical moonshine operation. It will make reading the rest of the book a lot easier.
