Description

It's the kind of offer only Henry Malone would get: Local strip club owner Wallace "Bada" Bingham wants Henry to run for sheriff of Parker County, West Virginia, and he's willing to back the candidacy. But while Henry considers the proposal, Bingham's got an additional job offer: Investigate the robbery of a money-counting room at a washed-up country musician's concert.

Indecent proposals, semi-pro wrestlers, and a dead body soon follow, and Henry, along with his well-armed A.A. sponsor Woody, soon discover Bingham's not telling him everything. To find the answers, catch the killer, and retrieve the money, Henry and Woody must put everything at risk and confront the forces who want control of Parker County-no matter what the costs, or who has to die.

"Friend of the Devil is a blisteringly paced tour-de-force of the American underbelly, packed with crackling dialogue and pulse-pounding violence." -Nick Kolakowski, author of Boise Longpig Hunting Club and Absolute Unit
