{"product_id":"the-tattletales","title":"The Tattletales","description":"“The Tattletales is 1950s noir with a solid helping of humor. More Westlake than Chandler…a fun read from Jesse Hilson who knows a thing or two about snappy dialogue.”\n—M.E. Proctor, crime author\n\n“Hilson pens western noir that twangs, sizzles, and ultimately swings.”\n—Russell Thayer, author of the “Gunselle” series\n\n“Pitch perfect genre movement…[Hilson] creates characters as deep as oceans…vivid visions of larger than life despicable criminals you can’t help but relish.”\n—Gwen Hilton, author of Sent to the Silkworm House\n\nSOMEBODY’S GOT A BIG MOUTH — BUT WHO\nFormer rodeo rider and cattle ranch hand Big Joe Scramm doesn’t. He’s got a side business he can’t afford to have anyone telling stories about. Especially to the law. And if violence is required to have some silence, so be it. To make matters worse, Joe’s wife Sophie is a hot number who he fears may be giving it away. Hiring pool-hall private eye Darryl Winter to report on Sophie’s whereabouts might just keep her in check. But at the local charm school, Winter’s attendance record was sparse…\nEveryone’s watching everyone else, trust is in short supply, and death is only one misstep away. No one likes a tattletale.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0C9KHWCB6\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0C9KHWCB6.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hilson, Jesse\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
