I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.
The Damned Lovely is a bar owned by a retired cop, Jiles. You will
also meet the bar patrons – Pa, The Rooster, Slice, Lily, and Jewels who worked
at the bar. There is also an “office” that is referred to as the box, where Sam
(the main character) uses some space to pursue his writing career, or lack of.
For some scratch, Sam also drives folks around. One evening, a new patron shows
up, no one knew her name. She just sat quietly, reading her book, or so it
seemed that is what she was doing. Turns out, her name was Josie Pendleton and
someone didn’t like her sniffing around a couple of organizations. All Sam had
left of her was the denim shirt she mistakenly left at the bar. So, Sam being
Sam, and having had too much to drink, decides to figure out what really
happened to Josie.
In his quest, he learns about a couple of organizations Josie was
apparently involved in – Patriot Strong and Backyard Dreams. He does find out something
about one of these organizations. Sam began to question whether he should give
up on his quest. He decides, since Detective Pinner was seemingly getting
nowhere with the investigation, to continue on, asking his questions, stirring
up trouble trying to find answers.
I think we all have a little bit of Sam in ourselves. Sometimes we
just cannot let things go, sometimes we get the answers, sometimes we don’t.
I’m not exactly sure what genre this tale would fall into, but it is a
refreshing read that doesn’t follow all the rules, so to speak, in that it is
not so cut-and-dried you’ll figure out who the bad guy is.
