LUSH AND OTHER TALES OF BOOZY MAYHEM by Duane Swierczynski

First sentence…

I first met Hilly Palmer in a bar on 15th Street.

The Overview:  Beware of Spoilers…

Duane Swierczynski presents 17 short stories.  There’s not a bad one in the bunch.  My favorites were…

  • Hilly Palmer’s Last Case – A young wannabe writer tracks down a famous crime writer, and finds out that all stories don’t have a happy ending.
  • Not All There – Sometimes bad things happen and you’re lucky it wasn’t worse.  But if you’re really lucky, you’ll find someone that completes you.
  • Eve of Destruction – A polish family curse is real… whether you believe it or not.

+++++

I’ve been a Duane Swierczynski fan since THE WHEEL MAN.  He’s never let me down.
