AUTHOR FAVOURITES: GOSHEN HOLE by WAYNE D. DUNDEE

You can’t pigeon-hole Wayne D. Dundee! He writes westerns (winning a Peacemaker award), mysteries (nominated for numerous awards), crime novels, a novel about vampires, a boxing-meets-the-underworld novel…

Many of his books feature PI Joe Hannibal. Wayne tells me he likes GOSHEN HOLE, because it essentially re-invented the character when he re-located from Illinois to Nebraska.

Joe investigates the disappearance of a friends’ ex-wife with the help of William Thunderbringer, mercenary turned bounty hunter; they clash with a drug-dealer aptly named Matanza, `The Bloodletter'.

A PI (or cop) with a Native American sidekick reminded me of the 1992 film THUNDERHEART,


Val Kilmer and Graham Greene in ‘Thunderheart’ (1992)

or Burt Reynold’s 1966 TV series ‘HAWK.’



Reviews of GOSHEN HOLE:

‘One of the very best of the Joe Hannibal novels… a no-nonsense full-tilt-boogie romp.’

‘Dundee hits all the high points of a good PI novel, fuelling the mystery with testosterone and gunfire.’

‘Plenty of action, good dialogue and just enough humour to sweeten the pot.’
