The Life and Death of Rose Doucette

"""The Life and Death of Rose Doucette not only kept me captivated until the very end, but also reminded me why I fell in love with the PI genre. Shades of noir and the Golden Age of detective fiction wrapped up into a thrilling, modern-day, edge-of-your-seat read. Let's hope this isn't the last case for Private Investigator Dylan Fisher."" --Robin Burcell, New York Times best-selling author ""After three years of no contact, ex-cop turned PI Dylan Fisher is asked by his ex-wife detective Rose Doucette to meet and discuss a troublesome case. The last thing he expected was to witness her murder. What follows is a story with more twisting and writhing than a rattlesnake traversing a hot Texas desert. Buckle up. It's a wild ride."" --D. P. Lyle, award-winning author of Unbalanced Praise for Harry Hunsicker ""With The Contractors, Hunsicker delivers a compelling thriller, a high-power rollercoaster ride across the dusty plains of West Texas and the back streets of Dallas."" --Harlan Coben, New York Times best-selling author ""Hunsicker's latest book imagines a frightening scenario: private military contractors--the corporate soldiers usually found roaming the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan--are operating within the borders of the United States. With a relentless pace and doses of black humor, Hunsicker creates a thrilling combination of 'what-if' with an altogether plausible 'what-actually-might-be', giving the reader a remarkable post-9/11, War-on-Drugs novel."" --David Morrell, New York Times best-selling author ""The Contractors is the fully-loaded model with all the options. With streetwise and wisecracking Jon Cantrell and Piper at the wheel, they take the reader for one hell of a ride through the drug and crime-ravaged parts of Texas that don't appear on picture postcards or tourist brochures."" --Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times best-selling author ""Hunsicker's strong third Lee Henry Oswald contemporary hard-boiled mystery, like its two predecessors...does for Dallas what Loren Estelman's Amos Walker novels have done for Detroit...Hunsicker has a flair for turning phrases and his broken, wounded characters could have stepped straight from the pages Cornell Woolrich's despairing stories."" --Publishers Weekly ""This novel offers arresting descriptions of Dallas' many mean streets; complex, interesting characters; and a relentless narrative drive. Compelling reading from a new name in noir."" --Booklist"
