Big Town

Big Town (1995) by Doug J. Swanson – Warner Books

Meet Jack Flippo — ex-lawyer, part-time sleuth, full-time magnet for chaos. In Big Town, Flippo stumbles through the sweaty, sleazy underbelly of Dallas, trying to outwit thugs, ex-wives, wannabe country stars, and his own terrible judgment. It’s noir with a Texas twang — think Elmore Leonard after too much Lone Star beer.

Doug J. Swanson slings one-liners and body blows with equal flair in this forgotten gem of 1990s crime fiction. It’s gritty, grimy, and just a little too real — kind of like your uncle’s recliner.

From the fine folks at Warner Books and now offered to you by Crappy Old Books, where we specialize in the gloriously used, vaguely warped, and criminally underappreciated.

May contain yellowing pages, questionable decisions, and literary greatness in disguise.
