The Next Time You Die — Harry Hunsicker

The anxiously awaited follow-up to Still River, The Next Time You Die is an action-packed mystery certain to establish Harry Hunsicker as the Dennis Lehane of Dallas. The story begins when a bourbon-swilling Baptist preacher hires Oswald to recover a stolen file, who figures the job for a quick and painless infusion of cash. But nothing comes easily in Dallas for anybody named Oswald, especially when a psychopathic hit man shows up, intent on finding the same scrap of missing paper. As the stakes mount, each treacherous step toward the missing file forces Oswald to confront the haunting memory of a split second decision which ultimately cost one-time partner, Billy Barganier, his life.
