Since Mom left it's just been Jake and Dad. They do the best they can, but when that's not enough they go to the desert for salvation. There's a payday there if Jake listens, if he does what Dad says. If Jake can fight. But what's left after all the punches are thrown? Two boys bloodied by devotion. What's settled in the dirt ring? Everything--for a time. Dad says this is the last fight. The last time Jake needs to scrap. But what kind of last fight will it be? They call Jake "The Bull." They call him a skinny piece of trash with no shot. They underestimate him. And that's a mistake.

It was such a minor thing really, the Louisville Problem. One dead man, two beautiful women, a bag full of cash, and one pissed off crime boss. It wouldn't be that much trouble to fix. No more trouble than a murder or two.

A strange trip through the Kentucky countryside with a glue-sniffing, skull-cracking, squirrel-hunting private detective by the name of Neil Chambers... When Chambers is approached by a father who wants to get back his (adult) daughter, he takes the skeptic's view of the case. But he has no idea the chaotic fever dream that he's about to stumble into. Vicious rednecks, more vicious rich people, crooked sheriffs--Neil will fight them all. F*** solving the case; this is about survival. Praise for LOVE YOU TO A PULP: "DeWildt stands alone as a wicked wizard of crime fiction. Love You to a Pulp serves up heart and depravity in equal portions. Bold, brash, and completely original." --Tom Pitts, author of Hustle "Chris DeWildt is the first honest-to-God heir apparent I've read to the rural noir master Jim Thompson." --Joe Clifford, author of Lamentation "DeWildt has a tendency to drag his characters, as well as his avid readers, through the most despicable of circumstances, yet with Love You to a Pulp, that tradition lets a little redemption seep in through the cracks. A balance DeWildt handles like a pro. This book is full of masterful imagery from a provocative author at the top of his game, piled high on a bullet train of violence that demands that once you start watching, you don't look away." --Brian Panowich, author of Bull Mountain

Nick Gillis grows marijuana and minds his own business, a policy that pays off in the small Midwest town he calls home. But when he breaks his own rule by helping out a girl at a bar, it's enough to put him on the radar of the most dangerous man he knows. It's truly a case of no good deed going unpunished as Nick's debt leads him down a dark path littered with psychologically damaged convicts, a crooked chief of police, and one well-trained murder of crows.
