- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2020Todd Morr has fast become one of my favorIte noir authors and now I will have to add Christopher Davis. This book contains novellas by both writers that contain everything I look for in noir.
Fast paced action, gritty writing, characters who are believable, stories that take your breath away, action that puts it foot to the pedal and never let’s up from beginning to end. Highly recommended.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2016I have to be honest here, I penned the first story in this central California crime compilation, Setup….so we’ll just leave that one alone for the time if you don’t mind and talk about the second story by, Fiero, by the infamous central coast crime writer, Todd Morr and author of Jesus Saves, Satan Invests and If You’re Not One Percent.
I’ve known of Morr and his offbeat style of writing crime for some time now after reading a short, but tasty piece of his work some years back. The novella and novel are well worth reading by the way also.
Fiero takes place entirely in the small town (can I even call it a small town?) of Salinas during the 1980’s. It starts as a young want-to-be, tries to sell a kilo of cocaine that his friend (and want-to-be Los Angeles porn star) has left in his care.
Andy—the kid—is having no luck in moving the product as no one in town has the money for a taste of the Columbian.
As we turn the pages, we find that two methamphetamine cooking bikers (Eddie and Hack) and of course, Hack’s old lady, decide that they will simply take the kilo of cocaine for their own use.
A couple of local (looser kids) manage to get a quarter gram of Eddie and Hack’s crank and hoped up as they are, decide they’d like to have the kilo for themselves.
I forgot about the ex-cop (Grey) who works the small town 7-11 after losing his job with the police department for excessive force and brutality.
I’m going to tell you….I laughed my ass off reading the exploits of the kid, the tweakers, the kid’s porn star buddy, the losers and the ex-cop.
I’ve never read a more hilarious shootout and didn’t expect Morr to let us off (or maybe get us off) in that way.
Double Tap by 10th Rule Books should be worth the $2.99 asking price. Check it out if you get the chance.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2016Double Tap is made up of 2 crime stories, Setup by Christopher Davis and Fiero by Todd Morr. They are both action packed and fun. Setup is a story of 2 gangs fighting over territory and doublecross is the name of the game. Fiero is a story of several different losers all trying to steal a cache of cocaine. They all arrive in the same town and fireworks ensue. I enjoy both authors and look forward to whatever they come up with next. A fast and recommended read.
