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?
