Hard Cash Valley

When Arnie Blackwell turns up murdered in a Jacksonville motel room, ex-arson investigator Dane Kirby is called in to consult alongside FBI Special Agent Roselita Velasquez — and the trail leads straight back to McFalls County, the crime-ridden Georgia territory Dane knows all too well. The real target, they discover, is Arnie's younger brother, a teenager with Asperger's whose unusual gift for numbers has already gotten people killed and made him valuable to some of the most dangerous people in the Southeast.

Brian Panowich returns to the Bull Mountain world for a race-against-the-clock Southern noir that pits Dane against the Filipino mafia, distrustful federal agents, and hardened local outlaws alike.
