Description
<i>This haunting, hardboiled tale follows detective Frank "Slim Fat" Pinson and his partner as they try to unravel the vexing mystery surrounding a who-done-it drug murder in San Diego. </i> <br><br>Frank "Slim Fat" Pinson is your regular hardboiled murder cop-hell, Frank's a cliché. His wife is dead after jumping from a bridge and he's a mal-practicing Catholic. He's tough as nails. Hard as sin. Except not. <br><br>When Frank and his partner, "Skinny" Slade Ryerson, catch a cartel murder case, they're sucked into a black hell of political corruption with ties to Santa Muerte. And Frank-a man who knows himself so well-spins into an epic crisis of faith. <br><br>The first detective novel from acclaimed pulp writer Matt Phillips introduces readers to a fascinating character of indefensible fault, immense morality, and incalculable demise. <br><br>Praise for TO BRING MY SHADOW: <br><br>"Phillips gets better with each book, using crime as a vehicle to penetrate the depths of the human soul..." -Travis Richardson, Derringer winner and author of <i>Bloodshot & Bruised</i> <br><br>"An outstanding hardboiled police thriller full of intrigue, corruption, murder, existential dilemmas, and more. One of the best and most prolific contemporary authors working-make room on your bookshelf for Frank Pinson and Slade Ryerson." -Andrew Davie, author of <i>Pavement</i> and <i>Ouroboros</i> <br><br>"In <i>To Bring My Shadow</i>, Phillips treats readers to the down-and-dirtiest whodunnit they'll ever read. Gritty, post-modern, and self-aware, this detective novel introduces readers to Frank Pinson and Slade Ryerson (the suave Watson to Frank Pinson's slovenly, self-destructive Holmes). Let's be clear: this ain't no tea-cozy and hardboiled doesn't quite cut it, either. Some of the central tropes are Tarantinoesque and Phillips' dialog and eye for detail bring to mind <i>The Wire</i>. But this is something else-something unclean, cheeky and fun. Have a go." -Steve Lambert, author of Philisteens <br><br>"Relentless, gritty, and heart-pounding...<i>To Bring My Shadow</i> reads like a fast-paced novelization of a banger episode of 'The First 48.' An authentic portrayal of San Diego, fantastic characterization, and Phillips' sharp-as-a-knife writing skill make this a must-read." -Curtis Ippolito, author of <i>Burying The Newspaper Man</i>
