By Anthony Neil Smith

Deputy Billy Lafitte is not unfamiliar with the law; he just prefers to enforce it, rather than abide by it. But his rule-bending and bribe-taking have gotten him kicked off the force in Gulfport, Mississippi, and he's been given a second chance...in the desolate, Siberian wastelands of rural Minnesota. Now Billy's only got the local girls and local booze to keep him company. Until one of the local girls—cute little Drew, bassist for a psychobilly band—asks Billy for help with her boyfriend. Something about the drugs Ian's been selling, some product he may have lost, and the men who are threatening him because of it. Billy agrees to look into it, and before long he's speeding down a snowy road, tracking a cell of terrorists, with a severed head in his truck's cab. And that's only the start.

I write crime novels. PSYCHOSOMATIC, THE DRUMMER, plus the Billy Lafitte series—YELLOW MEDICINE, HOGDOGGIN', THE BADDEST ASS, and HOLY DEATH—and the Mustafa & Adem series—ALL THE YOUNG WARRIORS and ONCE A WARRIOR, in addition to WORM, CHOKE ON YOUR LIES, and SLOW BEAR. Next up: THE BUTCHER'S PRAYER (Sept 21) and TROOPER DOWN! (later in 22). CASTLE DANGER: WOMAN ON ICE and THE MENTAL STATES, and THE CYLCIST are available as ebooks out from BE Ebooks. My entry in Lee Goldberg and William Rabkin's DEAD MAN series, COLDER THAN HELL, was published by 47North in January, '13. I'm an English Professor at Southwest Minnesota State University. I'm one of the founders of the crime webzine PLOTS WITH GUNS. I like tacos. I like biking. I had a heart attack at 40. I'm good now.
