Nowhere Nice (Nick Reid)
Guy Baptiste Boudrot, known only as that Boudrot, is a ravening, sawed-off, psychopathic meth cooker from Louisiana, and he’s just escaped from Mississippi’s infamous Parchman state prison. His goal is to kill Nick Reid and his running mate Desmond, along with as many of their friends as he can find, while generally destroying anything in his path. Learning he’s on the loose, Gavin’s knights-errant of the Mississippi Delta search the length and breadth of the region to find a group of peripatetic wastrels who are sure to be on that Boudrot’s hit list. They know that none of these crackers is especially worth saving, but maybe that’s just what Delta knights-errant do. Along the way, they scuff up dozens of boys of low pedigree in a series of antic battles, and Nick must confront that Boudrot dressed like the sailor from the Village People. Nowhere Nice is a Delta Baedeker that ascends to heights of creative vulgarity and genuinely side-splitting laughter, but even Nick must admit, This world is making me a little tired. --Thomas Gaughan
