HTML:From the neon of Atlanta to the Georgia seacoast, he's searching for a killer, a motive. . . and his past. On the marshy shores of the Georgia coast, the locals tell a story: of a woman who appeared from the sea, and of two gentle twin brothers who would do anything for her. But now a man is dead, the twins are missing, and only a meditating private eye from Atlanta can unravel the truth. . . . His name is Flap Tucker. A man with a gift for visualization and the courage to go where his mind leads him, Flap has been hired by the beautiful nightclub owner Dalliance Oglethorpe to go deep into rural Georgia, where a banker has been murdered. The man's wife--a woman so shrouded in mystery that some believe she is a spirit--and a pair of twin brothers named Peachy and Maytag are wanted in the crime. Entering a world of gnarled kinships, family secrets, and dirty money, Flap stumbles upon yet another murder. And now the Zen private eye is pursuing a story stranger than fiction, a killer closer than he thinks, and some dangerous ghosts of his own. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

This time Atlanta-based PI Flap Tucker's best friend, Dally, sends him searching for a mysterious woman and two good ol' boys who disappeared in the wake of a nasty banker's untimely death. The belief is that they are hiding out near Savannah, on Tybee Island. While searching, another body turns up along the way.
Yes, parts were a bit implausible, but that was OK. It was a rollicking fun read with some food for thought along the way, a nice break from the darker mysteries I've been reading lately. And I didn't figure out how the banker really died until DePoy was ready for the characters to let me in on the secret.
The copy I read was in a Mystery Guild volume, "Easy Does It", containing the first two Flap Tucker mysteries. It's good to pair them because near the start of this second story comes a rather strong "spoiler" for the first book. (In his second series, about Fever Devilin, he became much more subtle about working in material from earlier books.) ( )
