Missouri Homegrown - Jesse James Kennedy - Bog

Publishers Weekly: "Impressive storytelling chops." Booklist: "Fast-moving, wildly violent . . . vivid and rich in character . . . Strong, well-realized country noir." St. Louis Post Dispatch: "Jesse James Kennedy lives up to his first and middle name." Bill Crider: "The two opening chapters of Missouri Homegrown are as brutal as anything I've read, and Jesse James Kennedy is just getting warmed up." A Mexican drug lord thinks the McCray boys in rural Missouri will be a pushover when their lush marijuana harvests cut into the cartel's business in St. Louis. But the McCrays live by guns and blood, and it hardly matters that they've got not only cartel soldiers to deal with but also FBI undercover agent Jill Murphy. Jesse James Kennedy's debut novel is as fast and brutal as anything Jim Thompson or Elmore Leonard ever dreamed up, steeped in local color and infused with characters drawn from life.
