Thrift Store Bounty Hunters is a must read for modern-day hard-boiled detective fans who enjoy plenty of laughs with their action. Author Michael Lamendola maintains a pace that would rival a 21-year-old's bachelor party.If you like your leading men with notable flaws, you're going to love the protagonist, Buddy (don't call me Buddy Boy). He's a young man who found himself at a crossroads in life, popped into the Crossroads Bar & Grill (aka, The Red Fox), and has yet to emerge with a viable plan. However, one of his redeeming qualities includes his loyalty to his aspiring PI friend, Sal, who works out of the Red Fox and drives a Buick full of bullet holes.The expression, "God looks out for fools, drunks, and little children," came to mind several times as Buddy & Sal emerged from numerous perils bloodied and bruised, but otherwise unharmed. Their approach to detective work is every bit as professional as Sal's ad in the Penny Saver. But, if you're like me and find the combination of action and laughs even more intoxicating than a gin and tonic, you'll love Thrift Store Bounty Hunters.
