The second novel in the unforgettable series by Ralph Dennis, Performed by Shawn Compton.
Jim Hardman is an ex-cop who works as an unlicensed PI, troubleshooter, and bodyguard…often partnered with his drinking buddy Hump Evans, a black, ex-NFL player who supports his playboy lifestyle by working as hired muscle.
Five kids rip off a gambling party attended by Hump Evans and some of Atlanta’s criminal and political elite. Hardman is hired to recover the loot and find the kids before they are caught and butchered by a hitman from Charleston with a very sharp knife.
This new edition includes an introduction by Joe R. Lansdale, the New York Times best-selling author of the Hap & Leonard crime novels.
The action is sharp, the dialogue is crisp and true
Dennis may not have made literature of Hardman, but he damn sure touched on it more than a time or two.
