Crow's Landing by Brad Smith
4.0
Crow's Landing, the second Virgil Cain mystery after Red Run, is rife with lowlifes, tough broads, sleazy cops, crazy Russians, drug deals, shoot-outs, and one hard-working protagonist trying to keep it all straight and get his boat back. Virgil is a archetypal pulp hero, gruff enough to be taken seriously as muscle and smart enough to know when the grift is on. Finding himself unwillingly linked to a missing drug shipment, Cain has no choice (by his reckoning, anyway) but to play one side against the other. It’s a classic scenario, but hey, Smith works it gangbusters. Crow’s Landing is a gritty yet smooth Hudson River breeze, a great way to spend some quality time with persons you’d be unlikely to sit next to on the bus.
