The follow up to last year’s The Death You Deserve featuring writer Billy Dye and his childhood friend RAWHEAD is great fun. I loved the first book with Billy and Rawhead and this one is just as engrossing. The book opens with Billy getting married. Much to his chagrin, Rawhead shows up, and not too much later so does the first body. You see, Rawhead is a professional killer who enjoys his job a little too much and he scares the crap out of Billy. So while they share a love of horror novels, they don’t have as much in common as they used too!
Since the last book, Billy has published a few books, and is getting some movie and television interest. Meanwhile the local gangster scene has gone through some changes, in part because of Billy and Rawhead’s adventures in the last book. Rawhead has decided he wouldn’t mind being in charge. And so we have two characters pursuing what they want most.
Fast fast fast pacing in this highly entertaining book. It’s violent but fun and I can’t wait for more.
