Thirty-something Hudson Miller is down on his luck. His boxing career is over, he\u2019s working as a bouncer, and he\u2019s couch surfing with friends. To make matters worse, Hudson&#8217;s estranged father is murdered, shot in the back of the head while sitting at his desk at his salvage yard in deeply rural Flint Creek, North Carolina. To Hudson\u2019s surprise, he inherits the business, and\u2014with no other options apparent\u2014goes home to run Miller\u2019s Pull-a-Part. He also takes on the job of finding his father\u2019s murderer, helped out by Charlie Shoaf, a Vietnam vet who more or less comes with the salvage shop. When a corpse is found in the trunk of a salvaged vehicle, and a cache of firearms is discovered as well, Hudson realizes that his father\u2019s life was a whole lot different than it appeared. Add to the mix the self-assured, brilliant teenager Lucy Reyes\u2014who is seeking answers to her own family tragedy\u2014and you\u2019ve got a great threesome. I have no idea of the author\u2019s intent, but I\u2019d love to hear more from Hudson, Charlie, and Lucy\u2014their chemistry is dynamite. <strong>Fans of the TV series Ozark will love this book.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A straightforward mystery that is brought to life by three wonderful characters.
