About this listen
From the Edgar Award-winning author of the Hap and Leonard mysteries comes a shocking crime thriller to chill even the warmest summer's night. By turns vivid, raw, and darkly comedic, this mystery classic inspired the 2014 major motion picture Cold in July, starring Michael C. Hall (Dexter), Sam Shepard (Black Hawk Down), and Don Johnson (Miami Vice).
Richard Dane has killed a man. He cannot unhear the firing of the gun or unsee the blood on his living room wall. But everybody in the small town of LaBorde, Texas, knows Dane acted in self-defense. Everybody except Ben Russel, the ex-con father of the small-time criminal who invaded Dane's home. When Russel comes looking for revenge against Dane's family, the two are unexpectedly drawn into a conspiracy that conceals the vilest of crimes. Surrounded by police corruption, mafia deception, and underworld brutality, Dane, Russel, and eccentric PI Jim Bob Luke have discovered a game they may not survive.

TW: romanticizes self-harm
Richard Dane shoots a home intruder who tried to shoot him; soon after, Ben Russell, the ex-con father of the dead intruder, arrives in Richard’s sleepy Texas town and wants revenge. Only when revenge fails and Ben is carted off to jail, does Richard realize the man he shot is not Ben’s son. Soon the two men are in the middle of a mystery that involved the FBI, the Dixie Mafia, Mexican hoodlums, and a colourful P.I. named Jim Bob Luke. This was a darkly humorous and deeply touching thriller, with great themes of paternal struggles with self-doubt, while maneuvering around the landmines of toxic masculinity. A really beautiful story, expertly narrated for audible by Brian Hutchison.
