He's very much like Charlie Huston; they're an acquired taste.

NTMA:
When I ordered a book from Amazon, they made a recommendation that I followed through on. I am reading THE UNQUIET BONES: THE FIRST CHRONICLE OF HUGH de SINGLETON, SURGEON by Melvin R. Starr.



I enjoy medieval mysteries and this one is very good so far. It's by a small press, and I haven't seen it in any of the big stores, but for once Amazon hit the nail on the head with their recommendation.

hmmm, evidentially you must have changed your name to Dave (at least in my mind, anyway!) oops!

Beat the Reaper A Novel sounds interesting Dave! I am reading a Charlie Huston right now, Every Last Drop. Definitely different and an acquired taste, but I like him. I haven't read Duane Swierczynski. I'll have to check him out.

What we have here is a Hit Man who by the good graces of the witness protection program became a doctor. The story moves around in time and place, but never fails to entertain.
