Do you love noir crime thrillers? Do you crave anti-heroes and femme fatales in your life? Do you prefer your story plots to be fast-paced, action-packed, bleak and violent where all of the characters are dastardly and you’re forced to cheer for the best of the worst? Then you need more Kingston in your life. Lucky for you, there is the No Place for Nice Guys series, and Kingston is back for his first novel-length adventure. In Kingston Toads the Hog, your newest favorite anti-hero is meaner, more brutal, and handling nasty business the only way he knows how – with extreme violence and an ice-cold heart.
Kingston is a crook, a thug, and an ex-con who lives in Town after getting released from prison – again. In his newest rampage, Kingston has been hired to rescue Ronnie Waylon from a local street gang called Locomotive. Not a simple task since she doesn’t want to be rescued and Locomotive can’t afford to lose any more of their future breeders. During this, Kingston is also hunting for a missing child he has already rescued once before. Two damsels in distress and one femme fatale. Or is one of those damsels in distress actually the femme fatale in disguise?
Does Kingston Toads the Hog promise heaving breasts, romantic castles, aching loins, quaint family bakeries, or high-tech intrigue and espionage? No! It has guns, knives, arson, back alleyways, and a Honda Accord.
Can you expect a happy ending and healthy character development in Kingston Toads the Hog? Nope!! There is way too much backstabbing, cigarette smoking, infidelity, excessive drinking, and drug abuse going on for that nonsense to prevail.
Is Kingston Toads the Hog set in an idyllic place with gorgeous views, friendly neighbors, moral family values, and overflowing prosperity? Not a chance!!! Town is the home to street gangs and thugs, corrupt politicians and evil zealots, hookers, muggers, and scammers. Town punishes Kingston with a constant onslaught of murder, perversion, and violence whether he is visiting Re-Bar at The Condos, Ski-J at Beefy’s Bar, or Ugly Marge at the Hotel Grind along The Walk. It is all seedy, sticky, dangerous, and broken. Good thing Kingston thrives in such places.
Kingston Toads the Hog is the sixth installment in The Chronicles of A Bad Man and its first novel-length feature. Stay tuned for more novels and short stories to come steamrolling through in the near future.
