Product Description:
Hank Thompson is living off the map in Mexico with a bagful of cash that the Russian mafia wants back and many, many secrets. So when a Russian backpacker shows up in town asking questions, Hank tries to play it cool. But he knows the jig is up when the backpacker mentions the money . . . and the family Hank left behind. Suddenly Hank’s in a desperate race to get to his parents in California before anyone can harm them. Along the way he’ll face Federales and Border Patrol, mafiosi and vigilantes, extortionists and drug dealers, and a couple of psychotic surf bums with an ax to grind. From the golden beaches of the Yucatán to the seedy strip clubs of Vegas, Charlie Huston opens a door to the squalid underworld of crime and corruption–and invites the reader to live it in the extreme.

3) The story was so full of twist and turns, it became difficult at times to keep track of what was going on and why.
4) There were no chapters; instead, the story was divided into three parts, which made it difficult to find good places to start and stop.

If you're looking for some fast-paced, relatively believable, hard-boiled fiction, look no further than ANY of the Charlie Huston novels. WOW!

I really enjoyed Caught Stealing, and was ready to find out how the story continued in Six Bad Things. While exciting, and an equally fast read, Six Bad Things doesn't quite live up to the original. Hank started out as an almost lovable everyman in Caught Stealing, but that softer edge was missing here. His feelings for his parents felt a little forced, and the situations he found himself in were over the top. I had to try pretty hard to suspend disbelief a couple times.
On the positive, ... Read More

Crime is probably my favorite genre, be it literature or film, and this book came strongly recommended. After letting it gather dust on the shelf for over a year, I finally dove into it and was instantly hooked. The story kicks off with protagonist Hank lounging on a quiet Mexican beach, hiding out from all manner of villains seeking him and the $4.5 million he made off with following a rather violent and complicated weekend in New York three years previously. I loved how the book just launched in without ... Read More
