'The first in a brand-new mystery series by the author of the Brady Coyne series.
William G. Tapply has created a fresh new world in BITCH CREEK, a steamy, perfectly crafted mystery introducing Stoney Calhoun, an unlikely hero. Stoney is a man without a past. A lightning strike obliterated his memory, and, as so many might like to do, he was given a chance to completely reinvent himself. That's not an easy task when a man doesn't know the slightest thing about himself. But Stoney was driven by some current within and ended up as a fishing guide in Maine. He's reeducating himself, he's in love, and life is good'until his friend and fellow fishing guide is murdered and Stoney suspects that he himself was the target. In a riveting process of revelation, Stoney begins investigating the murder and learns to his surprise that he is, in fact, a trained investigator. The process of discovering the murderer is also a process of self-discovery. Tapply has introduced an unlikely, yet intensely likeable protagonist. He has fashioned an ingenious plot simultaneously unfolding layers of personality and intrigue in his stunning new novel.
WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING:
'. . . It's wonderful to see Tapply get out of the city and into an
altogether different kind of time that suits his unhurried storytelling
perfectly.' 'Kirkus Reviews
'Outstanding . . . electrifying . . . ingenious . . . one of the most
convincingly heroic and likeable of contemporary sleuths.'
'Publishers Weekly
'Tapply is . . . a worthy successor to Hammett and both MacDonalds (Ross and John).' 'Chicago Tribune
'Only a few writers of crime fiction have managed to generate prose this leanly poetic in the service of their hard-boiled stories. Tapply does it all the time.' 'The Boston Globe
