Daniel Russell was only thirteen years old when his father tried to kill them both by driving their car into Moon Lake. Miraculously surviving the crash- and growing into adulthood- Daniel returns to the site of this traumatic incident in the hopes of recovering his father' s car and bones. As he attempts to finally put to rest the memories that have plagued him for years, he discovers something even more shocking among the wreckage that has ties to a twisted web of dark deeds, old grudges, and strange murders. As Daniel diligently follows where the mysterious trail of vengeance leads, he unveils the heroic revelation at its core.
Praise for More Better Deals " [A] down-and-dirty riff on Double Indemnity, a provocative new variation on James M. Cain' s noir classic. . . an enjoyably cynical cruise down the back roads to perdition. "--Lisa Henricksson, Airmail "The prolific Mr. Lansdale. . . draws on the spirit and themes of James M. Cain in this stand-alone book, which works clever variations on such Cain classics as The Postman Always Rings Twice and Double Indemnity. --Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal "When funky books need to be written, Joe R. Lansdale writes them. . . . The plot is pure James M. Cain' s The Postman Always Rings Twice, but steeped in hillbilly noir. "--Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review He' s genre dextrous, moving fleetly between westerns, mysteries, thrillers, horror, sci-fi, literary fiction, and nonfiction, and doing it all extremely well. --Publishers Weekly Highly enjoyable . . . Populated with an admirable array of laughable miscreants, this droll, savage novel is vintage Lansdale. The author' s storytelling powers remain as strong as ever. --Publishers Weekly Lansdale really makes this used car purr. --Booklist (starred review) Southern crime legend Joe Lansdale channels his best James M. Cain world vision. . . Readers can expect to be transported in the usual Lansdale fashion, as nobody does those East Texas period details quite like Lansdale, who always delivers with a finely-crafted, engaging, compulsive crime story in his home terrain. --Dwyer Murphy, CrimeReads
