ditto i'll take one too please send info

I've read it, and bought a copy for a friend, after hearing the author on Davod Gan's "dead to the WOrld" fundraiser special on KPFA a couple years ago.

you can still buy it on line through the publisher, who specialize in books by Pacific Northwest writers. look online...also, you can sometimes find used or remainered copies in an independent bookstore search on alibris,com (I used to recommend abebooks.com, and many indy booksellers list with both, but ABe was acquired by AMazon,com last eyar and I dont; buy from Amazon as they ahve made business surviva hellish for the independent book-istas.

anyway, SLipknot. I enjoyed it, Iv;e now read all three of te author;s novels, all about some aspect of the rock ' roll world and the BNnorthwest. he weaves a good tale, and this one ios intriguing. I found the style of writing a buit clumsy, tending toward purple prose inb some places and some of the characters a bit two-dimensional, but poart of the charm of gary kb Kinney is that despite a less than seamless fiction style, I find I am sucked into following where the characters' adventures will eald next.

the semi-hippie Deadhead turned sheriff is a believable and sympathetic character, evcen though his girlfriend could use some rounding-out. the conflict between environmentalists, big business interests, and tutal townspeople could be almost anywhere in the UD; I could easily see this story set in Mendocino County, Claifornia, rather than in the more northern woods of Washington State.

the story is set in 1993 or 1994, for good readon: the author wants to paint a rrural criminal investigation in fairly contemporary times, but before the World Wide Web, or computer technology in general in backwoods settings, was available., even to law enforcement.

I'd happily write a review if kearney St Books is sstill trying to promote this novel, or either of the two that preceded it.

overall, a good read.
