The author of Down to No Good âblends the mysterious and the supernatural boldly and successfully. The novel is strong and haunting, a wonderful debutâ (T. Jefferson Parker, New York Times bestselling author). Things havenât been going well for Charlie Miner. His work as a private investigator involves him with an endless roster of shady characters. His ex-wife is borderline crazy. And he hasnât been getting to spend anywhere near enough time with his teenage daughter Mindy, the one person in his life who truly matters to him. When he wakes up on a slab in the morgue with a hole in his head, though, things get even worse. Just before the shooting, Charlie was investigating a case involving fraud, gold, religious zealots, and a gorgeous woman who seemed to be at the center of everything. Even with a fatal bullet wound, Charlie can connect the dots from the case to his attack. And when his daughter is abducted by someone involved, the stakes get exponentially higher. Charlie needs to find Mindy before the criminals do the same thing to her that they did to him. After that, maybe heâll try to figure out how heâs walking around dead. Irreverent, circuitous, and surprisingly touching, Down Solo introduces a crisp new voice to suspense fiction. âAwesome.ââJames Frey, #1 New York Times bestselling author âJavorskyâs dark and gritty prose is leavened with just enough humor to make Down Solo a compelling story that will take readers to the outer limits of noir.ââSan Diego City Beat âOffbeat and dark and wonderful. This book caught me in the first few pages and never let me go.ââTimothy Hallinan, bestselling author of the Poke Rafferty series Less
