This sounds like pure rock and roll .. Crumley never lets the
reader down.

I did a little research on my own and found that there was a
book published
in June of 1998 entitled "The Mexican Pig Bandit - Short
Stories/Limited
Edition" B&N shows the hardcover available at $45 and the
paperback
available at $125.00 (?)... As well, I found a site which
listed a novel
being published in 1999, entitled "Final Country", a
Milodragovich series.
Has anyone here read the one published this year?
