Jackie Nolan knows how to drive big trucks and she's facing a mountain of debt. Put the two together, and Jackie soon finds herself hijacking semis from truck stops around Albuquerque, NM. But when one of the trucks turns out to be full of stolen Army munitions, Jackie finds herself in deep trouble. A lot of bad people are after those guns, and they're willing to kill to get them. "Enough criminal mayhem . . . to fill three crime novels." -- Albuquerque Journal "SHOTGUN BOOGIE is my kind of crime novel. Brewer creates a cast of genuine characters and thrusts them into a zip-line plot involving drug cartel killers, the U.S. military, the DEA, and a pair of deplorables in search of weapons to further their misguided cause. The storytelling is effortless and compelling. Steve Brewer delivers another winner!" -- Bill Fitzhugh, award-winning author of PEST CONTROL
