Slowest Bear

by Anthony Neil Smith

"Anthony Neil Smith mixes dark humor, menace, mayhem and a washed-out, one-armed hero in a noirish tale that never stops to take a breath." Following hot on the heels of his last adventure, everyone’s favourite one-armed vengeance machine Micah ‘Slow Bear’ Cross makes his way to the Californian wine-country of the San Bernardino valley.

As you might expect, Slow Bear isn’t there to take in the sunshine or enjoy a nice glass or two of red - he’s got other things on his mind. Messier things. Bloodier things.

First on Micah’s list is to pay a visit to a predatory child-trafficker he’s tracked down to the Golden State and to extract some information to help in his continuing search for Lady (the kidnapped & trafficked long-lost love of his life).

Bloody chaos inevitably ensues, but has Slow Bear bitten off more than even he can chew this time?

Pulp-Noir legend Anthony Neil Smith has done it again, this latest instalment of the Slow Bear Series is another nailed on classic of the genre.

I really enjoyed this series. Great cast of characters. Action, sadness, humour. Everything you want in a thriller.
