The result is an amiable and appealing novel..." -- Washington Post " Tin City is a nicely crafted combination of procedural and character-driven crime story...
The author thickens the broth with big-City crime (New York City gang wars), national issues (terrorism and a frenzied FBI agent) and more than a showoff\'s worth of country-western music name-dropping.
It\'s clear he\'s a Minnesotan in his bones, so his depiction of everything from beekeeping to the byways of Hilltop embeds us in a location where quiet indiscretions and desires highlight daily life...

With only the faintest of trails to follow and a suspicious group of federal agents gunning for him, Mac dives underground, taking only a stash of cash and a small arsenal with him on his undercover mission.

Mac does some digging and before long turns up a hornet\'s nest of trouble in the person of Frank Crosetti, a new neighbor on the property abutting Mosley\'s bees.
Mosley, a beekeeper, wants Mac to find out why his bees are suddenly dying in droves.
And it is one of the stranger favors he\'s ever been asked: the elderly Mr.
So when an old Marine buddy of his father\'s calls with a request Mac takes the time to help him out.
