Just finished this weekend's thriller treat - 'No Regrets, Coyote' by John Dufresne - and I'm not quite sure what I read, but it was highly entertaining. I suppose it is considered "Florida Noir", and is a highly convoluted murder mystery that begins on a Xmas Eve not to be forgotten -- and just keeps going .... populated with dirty cops, dirtier politicians, gamblers, the Russian Mob, Django the kitten, magicians, the homeless, Fairbanks (yes Alaska), numerous grisly murders/deaths, and lots of really black humor. The narrator is a very observant therapist used by the cops at crime scenes, Wylie 'Coyote' Melville, who always seems one step ahead or behind of everyone else. Probably the start of a series - I will definitely read the next installment.
