Description:

During Prohibition, the Mississippi flowed with contraband. Rumrunners could make fortunes in New Orleans. Some got away with murder.
Wesley Farrell, half-caste son of an Irish policeman, is no stranger to violence and death, but he`s deeply affected when a bright young Federal agent is gunned down right in front of him. A few years later, a new act opens and Farrell, conscious of his debt to the dead man who had saved his life just before he died, elects to play a role. His investigation not only opens up some well kept secrets, it carries his own role with his father in new directions....
Atmospheric, faithful to its period, Robert Skinner`s fourth Wesley Farrell novel is not just a suspenseful whodunit, but an exploration of family and of loss.


Originally published in 2000, Blood to Drink is the fourth Wesley Farrell mystery following Poisoned Pen Press` publication of Daddy`s Gone A-Hunting.

  • Bootlegger-turned-nightclub owner Wesley Farrell is back for a fourth round (after Daddy's Gone A-Hunting) in this hard-boiled tale full of 1930s New Orleans period flavor. During Prohibition, Farrell was riding in a car with George Schofield, a Treasury agent investigating local bootlegging scams, when the fed was shot to death. Five years later, Schofield's little brother, James, comes looking to avenge the slaying. James's number-one suspect is Farrell, who doesn't like being in the hot seat-besides, he wants to find the killer himself. The recent shooting of a black cop kicks off a parallel police investigation, and these two trails wind closer and closer as myriad gangsters and lawmen pass in and out of focus. Bart Mercer, a huge," violent man ironically nicknamed """"Mercy", is responsible for most of the bloodshed, but there's at least one other person lurking behind him. Is it good ole boy Paul Chauchaut, who's on his way to the governor's mansion? Gangland rivalries from the past provide some clues as Farrell and others hop from nightspot to nightspot, each one garnished, to a somewhat numbing degree, with popular songs of the era. Skinner doesn't dwell on the ethnicity of either Farrell (who's of mixed race but can pass for white) or his lady-love, Savanna Beaulieu, though the issue of race relations does add some substance to an unrelentingly busy plot.
