But now he\u2019s happily married to Gina, the love of his life\u2014and former adversary\u2014in Indiana, of all places.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The great thing about Bloomington, for two people with checkered pasts, is that everyone is nice and no one knows them. Until the day a brutal Armenian thug who has always hated Shake shows up in his backyard. He demands that Shake help him find his missing mob boss, the pakhan\u2014the dangerous and beautiful Alexandra \u201cLexy\u201d Ilandryan, who also happens to be Shake\u2019s ex-girlfriend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shake\u2019s got a lot of history with Lexy, so he reluctantly agrees to travel to Siem Reap, Cambodia, where she was last seen. Once there, he finds himself tangled in an underworld of Cambodian gangsters, mob politics, and opportunistic expats, where the stakes aren\u2019t clear and everyone is looking to score. With only the help of a clairvoyant hippie and the Armenian thug, Shake becomes involved in a high-stakes negotiation for Lexy that might cost him his own life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But perhaps most threatening of all is Gina\u2019s wrath when she arrives in Cambodia intent on saving Shake from himself\u2014and from all the people trying to kill him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With Lou Berney\u2019s trademark wit, flawless plotting, vibrant locale, and memorable characters, Double Barrel Bluff is another unputdownable, globe-trotting adventure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Preorders now for a November 5, 2024 release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOUBLE BARREL BLUFF by Lou Berney looks to be a winner&#8230; Multi-award winning and USA Today bestselling crime writer Lou<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[52,51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-crime"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36201"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36201\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36202,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36201\/revisions\/36202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
