Title : The Order of Things - Frank Wheeler Jr - book

Summary :

Earl Haack Junior was raised with a revolver and cowboy boots. His father, a sheriff in a small Nebraska town on the drug superhighway, the infamous Interstate 80, taught him early on his particularly radical and expeditious way of maintaining order. But Junior remained convinced there was a better way. As a young cop working for the Denver, Colorado, narcotics department, he quickly realizes that it is impossible to defeat the drug market that threatens this sacred order. When he returns to his hometown to take over from his father, he already knows that chaos cannot be defeated. At most, one can try to level the playing field—a game without rules or limits. His father was right: order comes first, and it exacts its toll in blood. Relentlessly constructed, breathtakingly paced, and tightly written, The Order of Things is an intense, rural, and wild noir. A dangerous and fascinating woman, characters as vicious as rattlesnakes, a legacy sealed in blood, a desperate yet impossible attempt at redemption: Frank Wheeler Jr. unfolds an explosive story beneath the apparent calm of the Nebraska prairie, swept by a wind that ultimately drives one mad. A masterstroke.
