Wow... The book begins with McKenzie's door being broken down, him being tazered, dumped in the trunk of a car by 2 thugs & him waking up in Libbie S.D. with a group of people trying to figure out who he is & why he is not the Rushmore "Rush" McKenzie that they know.

The Rush that they know scammed the town into believing he was going to build a mall just outside of town with their $$$$ and disappearing along with their investment.

The town is dying the women are beautiful, & the men are assholes.

When the Sheriff realizes that McKenzie is not the man who was using his name or scammed the town, the Sheriff asks McKenzie to help recover the lost money.

Now here's the thing, there had to have been an insider helping... who else knew the password to the escrow account?

There is the town bully who likes to set peoples property on fire, but who is bested by McKenzie, but doesn't learn his lesson..

There are all the beautiful lonely women in the town who all look for love in all the wrong places.

There are the men who run the town who all seem to be assholes, with the exception of the City & County Sheriff.

Then there is the fire & the double murder... as well as McKenzie again being drugged, stripped, beaten, & dropped off nearly naked in the middle of the plains of Montana.

Lots of action, no lack of assholes & once again McKenzie saves everyone's bacon. ( )

Good quick read. Detective novel. Author from Minnesota. ( )

Another good writer. Who knew that there were so many of them out there but good for me. I had never heard of David Housewright so was very pleased with how good this was. It was well written and flowed smoothly. The story was unusual, too; not the same-ole, same-ole. Won't tell you what it was about because I hate when others get too descriptive. ( )

Someone used Rushmore McKenzie's name in a crime in SD and the real McKenzie goes to sort it out, solving various riddles and crimes along the way. Quick, breezy read. Very nice, casual style. Some classic whodunit stuff, really easy to get comfortable with the main character and root for him. ( )

Seventh in the Rushmore McKenzie series. Reviewed for Reviewing the Evidence. Enjoyable, if not particularly original. He does use familiar PI tropes effectively.
