Prairie Bronze

By Matthew Copes

Incest in the desert. A private investigator on the run. A dead union organizer in Baltimore Harbor... Still rocked by the recent discovery that he's the by-product of an incestuous union, tormented private eye Mack Chase flees Arizona and finds himself in Charm City searching for those responsible for the gruesome murder of a high-profile union official. Meanwhile his beautiful, Irish - Native American femme fatale sidekick Hemlock Sage has discovered letters from a serviceman in Vietnam that contain coded messages describing a heinous atrocity committed by American troops. The cases seem unrelated, but the investigations lead to a common web of assassins, blackmailers, and deranged snake handlers, all hell-bent on obscuring the truth and settling old scores. Prairie Bronzeis the second installment in the '60s-era Mack Chase Noir Mystery Series, but can be read as a standalone novel. It's classic pulp fiction with enough lust, greed, and betrayal to make even the most jaded readers squirm. A perfect fit for fans of Raymond Chandler and Ken Bruen who like their heroes and heroines tough, dark, and hopelessly flawed.
