What a hot, smoking entry! Given the cover, I wasn't expecting a hell's inferno bombing run over Germany during WW2 to lead the story, but it certainly grabbed my attention. Settles into more of a hard-boiled PI story thereafter which was certainly fine by me. You definitely get to know the protagonist fairly well in this short offering including this passage among others "Eventually, when Jack had hit one hundred sixty-five pounds, his mother smashed  all his whiskey bottles on the front porch, and gave him a train ticket to Lubbock. It was just the medicine he'd needed." Very good book and looking forward to reading more of the Drifter Detective series in the near future!
