Redbone

You can only take so much from a man before he has nothing left to lose... Calvin G. Redbone, veteran, is a simple man with a simple routine. He lives in a travel trailer, details cars, takes practice swings with his Louisville Slugger. His weekdays are always the same: nothing more complicated than deciding whether to doctor his morning coffee with a splash of bourbon. Until his world begins to change. Until his best friend winds up dead. Until Calvin realizes that nothing is as simple as it appears on the surface. Maybe not even Calvin G. Redbone himself. As he begins to unravel the truth about his friend’s life and death, the question becomes: what’s Calvin going to do about it? Written in sharp-edged prose, Redbone is a captivating murder ballad-noir. Number Thirteen Press is building a list of #13 crime novellas, published over #13 months, on the 13th of each month.
