    Virtually every character is memorable, and the chemistry between Shake and Gina is brilliant. The plot turns are constant, and the dialogue is sharp. The bad guys are wonderfully scary, and the locales are vividly drawn. Elmore Leonard might be very pleased to call this his own. Berney, author of the collection The Road to Bobby Joe and Other Stories, proves just as adept at longer fiction in this fast-moving caper novel, which smoothly blends humor, action and romantic frisson. Charles 'Shake' Bouchon steps out of a California prison resolved to stay 'free and clear'; 48 hours later he's effectively double-crossed powerful Armenian L.A. mob boss Alexandra Ilandryan, ripped off dangerous Las Vegas powerhouse Dick 'the Whale' Moby and impulsively rescued exotic con woman Gina Clement, who may be the most dangerous of the three. Shake is a quick-thinking fellow with dreams of owning a restaurant, but if fate is kind, he'll return for the same kinds of adventures as those Berney recounts in this engaging debut.

      Gutshot Straight is one of the most suspenseful and action packed books that I have had the privilege of reading - and there have been too many to count. Never a dull moment!!! You won't be... Expand
