    About this audiobook

    From the New York Times bestselling author of the Quinn Colson series comes a “noir crime classic” (Mystery Ink) about one of the most notorious towns in American history.

    When crime-fighting attorney Albert Patterson is gunned down in a Phenix City, Alabama, alley in the spring of 1954, the entire town seems to pause for just a moment—and when it starts up again, there is something different about it. A small group of men meet and decide they have had enough, but what that
    means and where it will take them is something they could not have foreseen. Over the course of the next several months, lives will change, people die, and unexpected heroes emerge—like “a Randolph Scott western,” one of them remarks, “played out not with horses and Winchesters, but with Chevys and .38s
    and switchblades.”

    Peopled by an extraordinary cast of characters, both real and fictional, Wicked City is a novel of uncommon intensity, rich with atmosphere, filled with sensuality and surprise.

      I'm very glad to be done with this book. If I have to read about a certain madam's butt being big, yet shapely, one more time or read about a stifling home or someone's body odor being compared to the stink of a human mouth... I might just throw this book out the window into this Phenix City night.

      Review to come. Ugh.
