WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW FOR DIRTY WHITE BOYS, BLACK LIGHT,
and TIME TO HUNT, DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T READ
THOSE BOOKS!
Jim,
There's a couple things wrong with this info, the first being
that Earl is actually Lamar's dad, (which we find out in
BLACK LIGHT). Lamar is actually Bob's half-brother! I believe
Earl's death at the hand of Lamar's supposed father is also a
misnomer (I'm going off a distant memory now, having read all
these books on publication, so I could be wrong about
something here, but I'll forge on anyway). If you read TIME
TO HUNT you'll find there was a bigger conspiracy behind
Earl's demise. And a classic "second gun".
