The Redneck Detective Agency: The Redneck Detective Agency, #1

By Phillip Quinn Morris

The title of this novel seems to say it all. But not quite. Fifty-five year old Rusty Clay claims to be no detective. All that changes when a big man walks into Rusty's office and insists he find his two hundred fourteen pound catfish. Five thousand dollars cash asserts this is no joke.

Before Rusty decides to take the case or not, the Catfish King ends up dead and Rusty's ex-wife's surgeon fiancé is blown up in a Mercedes.

With the help of his old friend and new lover, Gloria, Rusty knows he must find the true killer of the double homicide or he's going to be on trial for a murder.

If you like a laugh a minute mystery while wallowing in backwater river subcultures, this is the read for you.

Phillip Quinn Morris

Phillip Quinn Morris was born in Limestone County, Alabama, in 1954. His father owned a small farm at the edge of town and a grocery store in town.  Phillip worked at both while growing up and going to school. As a young adult, he moved to Miami—with a short stint in Ecuador—to pursue the writer’s life. He has worked as a meat-cutter, engine-rebuilder, mussel diver and house painter. Phillip’s first novel, MUSSELS, was published by Random House. It was followed with the publication of THIRSTY CITY. Both novels are now in print in French translation. Harry Crews called him “a talent to watch.” The French Rolling Stone gave him a full page article concerning MISTER ALABAMA, the French title for MUSSELS. He now lives on the west coast of Florida.
