Bücher von Joe Hilley

Dell Briggers was born in Vidalia, Georgia—or so he said—and I believed him, too. When we were growing up, he was my best friend and we told each other everything. But then he died and at his funeral I learned he was actually from Hot Springs, Arkansas; that his father had never worked at a top secret Navy base; and that his mother had never even been to Hollywood … much less acted in movies or been mentored by Tallulah Bankhead. So, after the funeral, I decided to find out who he really was. And that’s where story begins. Using vivid characters, superb writing, and unforgettable stories, Joe Hilley brings us tales that read like a front porch conversation—gossip we’ve longed to know, questions we’ve wanted to ask, memories we’ve tried to forget. The Legend of Dell Briggers presents contemplative fiction at its finest.

Mike Connolly is a recovering alcoholic wrestling with newfound sobriety and a law practice that is on the skids from years of neglect when he is asked to represent Harvey Bosarge, a former police detective. Bosarge is accused of murder in the death of a wealthy Southern heir, but that's just the beginning. The truth lies somewhere beneath a tangled web of drugs, espionage, and infidelity. To find it, Mike must navigate a maze of politics and family secrets that threaten his undoing at every turn. The case is a riddle within a riddle and Mike will need all the help he can get to solve it, and survive.
