Start your Saturday with Hell Up In Houston by Garnett Elliott. This is the second book of his The Drifter Detective series and a mighty good one. My review is here on a book well worth your time.
Amazon Synopsis:
"Houston has been called "a sprawling city of astronauts and cowboys, in
the middle of a swamp." And now Jack Laramie, rural-wandering PI, is
headed up that way after his faithless Desoto blows its radiator. Jack's
got a bit of a past with the city, in the form of a Cajun PI named
Lameaux--a guy who mixes his "investigations" with organized vice. So
Jack decides to lay low, holing up in a swanky downtown hotel called the
Fulton. It's a splurge after sleeping in an old horse trailer night
after night, but Jack figures he deserves a break. Until the Fulton's
grizzled house detective shows up with a proposition ...
Jack's way out of his league this time around, and when he discovers
a blackmailing scheme involving a famous industrialist, he finds
himself bumping gun-barrels with the Federal Government. Survival's
going to require throwing the PI code out the window. And some quick
thinking.
Join Cash Laramie's hardluck grandson in this second installment of
The Drifter Detective series, "Hell Up in Houston." At around 15K words,
it won't take too long--just remember to bring your Colt."
