Description

Nob Brown is a divorced, disillusioned thirty-something ex-cop turned bottom-feeding tabloid writer. His best friend and occasional lover, Gloria Lopes, is an LAPD detective who needs an Excel spreadsheet to chart her sex life. When Gloria slips Nob the confidential file on the unsolved twenty-year-old murder of a legendary rock-and-roll goddess, Nob hopes to solve the crime and propel himself out of the tabloids and into a lucrative book deal. But he pokes into the wrong holes and unearths rotting secrets that give rise to fresh corpses. As the cold case comes to a fast boil, Nob is forced to battle for his own survival.

Advance Praise

"Hardbitten and told with a deft hand, Craig Faustus Buck delivers a twisty and engrossing tale that will stay with you long after the last page is finished"

Gary Phillips

"GO DOWN HARD is a spirited mix of noir homage and hard-boiled spoof, and Craig Faustus Buck gets the proportions just right. Sexy, tough and comic -- and often all three at once. Noir fans with senses of humor will dig it."

T. Jefferson Parker, New York Times bestelling author of THE FULL MEASURE

"Craig Faustus Buck's Go Down Hard is a pleasure. Buck gives us a wisecracking freelance writer, a delectable female cop, detestable bad guys, and a plot with excitement that builds to the end."

Thomas Perry, New York Times bestselling author of BUTCHER'S BOY

"A neo-noir carnival ride. Sex, drugs and rock 'n roll and a hero who doesn't always wish to be one make for a fun read. The dialogue will make you smile."

W.L. Ripley, author of STORME WARNING

"Go Down Hard's noirish prose is smart, smooth and side-splitting."

Patricia Smiley

"Hardbitten and told with a deft hand, Craig Faustus Buck delivers a twisty and engrossing tale that will stay with you long after the last page is finished"
