Rolling Thunder by A.J. Devlin, the second installment in the “Hammerhead” Jed mystery series, is a well-written and exciting private eye novel from rising Canadian talent and we think you should give it a try.
In Rolling Thunder, Hammerhead is now a fully-fledged private investigator and is riding high after his first successful case. Now Jed leaves the wrestling realm to enter a new arena: women’s flat-track roller derby.
When old acquaintance Stormy Daze seeks his help finding her team’s missing coach, Jed discovers that the turnbuckle-and-metal-chair mayhem of the wrestling ring pales in comparison to roller derby’s four-wheeled ferocity.
As his search intensifies, Jed is drawn into the criminal orbit of a shady entrepreneur who doubles as a late-night TV personality, a high-class bookmaker with a yen for racing dachshunds, and a kinky painter with a special technique for producing art. When the thunder rolls, Jed finds he needs more than a few of his beloved banana milkshakes to solve this case.
…captivating and twisty plot and hilarious characters.
Rolling Thunder, with its captivating and twisty plot and hilarious characters, is a great pick for fans of private eye novels and readers of novels by Sam Wiebe, Carl Hiassen, and Janet Evanovich.
