Parker Strip Ii

Hot. Wet. Wild. If this erotic thriller had a mood gauge, it'd read 'redline scorch' and the mercury just keeps soaring as this torrid summer mind-bender scrapes nerves raw and hormones ragged. It s peak vacation season on the beautiful, fifteen-mile stretch of the warm Colorado River, better known as Parker Strip, where short-tempered sheriff JIMMY WITCHITAW suddenly wakes up with a mysteriously brutal homicide on his hands. Unfortunately his only leads are a bloody, four-way trail of morbid retribution splayed out by... ...vengeful crime boss NICK SARVINO... ...loose-cannon FBI agent RICHARD CANAVERAL... ...the beautiful, lust-filled mob lawyer CLARITY CARLYSLE... ...and a viscous pack of heavily-armed tribal ghostriders known as THE HELLHAWK FREEDOM FIGHTERS... ...all of whom drive this normally peaceful resort town into a twisted labyrinth of high-voltage vengeance, power-driven greed and brain-scorching seduction. Inspired by true events, Parker Strip is an explosive, thought-provoking confrontation of ultimate human deception on the level of Body Heat , L.A. Confidential and Two Days In The Valley . KIRKUS REVIEWS Osterhage excels at making the various storylines fall into step... An endlessly diverting crime story featuring a wide array of characters and subplots. ...thoroughly detailed... ...wonderful interplay... ...shocking turns. ...continually teases an inevitable confrontation before delivering a blistering coda.
