The Blind Pig

By Jon A. Jackson

Book Overview

The Blind Pig opens as a cop kills an armed intruder and two hit men shoot a jukebox. It would seem an open-and-shut case, but the deceased turns out to have been a hit man for the mob, and Mul finds himself smack in the middle of a gun-running plot. Meanwhile, delicious kumquat of a woman is using her own brand of ammo on Mulheisen in the after-hours world of Detroit jazz, and Mulheisen has figured out that the shootings revolve around a young man who'd struck it rich in trucking -- and then everything explodes when someone pulls off a million-dollar heist. The take? Sleek, beautiful guns -- enough to start a war.

Customer Reviews

Like hard boiled?

Probably my favorite of Jon's books, he has the dialect or slang down like he grew up on the ' wrong side of the tracks'! He's right up there with Elmore Leonard!!

The Blind Pig

This is an absolutely fantastic book. As an ex-Detroiter, I especially enjoyed it. Mr. Jackson writes one of the best humorous crime type books available. His information about Detroit is perfect, I guess he lived there too! I honestly hated to finish this book because I knew that it would take me a long time to find a novel that I would enjoy as much as this one.
