Juvenile gangs have invaded the heartland. Cities like Minneapolis, Omaha & Des Moines are feeling the agony of children killing children. William J. Reynolds' writer-P.I. Nebraska, based in Omaha, takes on the gangs in DRIVE-BY. Reynolds brings his unique wit & sensitivity to the telling of this story. His sardonic sleuth has been appointed unofficial guardian angel of Darius LeClerc, a young man new to Omaha. When Darius is gunned down, Nebraska joins the boy's Uncle, Elmo Lammers, to find the killers. The backstreets through which the detective & his Army buddy prowl for clues could be in a foreign country, teeming with fascinating, richly drawn people. The sense of the familiar suddenly grown alien should strike a chord with a public whose values have been challenged by the ruthlessness of young people with guns & an attitude. "In this sixth 'Nebraska' adventure, Reynolds once again reveals his delightful sense of humor as well as his ability to keep readers turning pages," writes William X. Kienzle, author of THE ROSARY MURDERS. For fans of Nebraska, DRIVE-BY is a landmark in the evolution of this intriguing character. For readers new to the series, it is a glorious introduction.William J. Reynolds is the author of 'Drive-By: A Nebraska Mystery' with ISBN 9780944287149 and ISBN 094428714X.
