Beschreibung

Contrary, West Virginia, a sleepy town with failing coal mines, has an urgent need for revenue. A federal grant for a non-existent bus system meets that need, until a government auditor consumes too much white lightning and dies under mysterious circumstances. When the Department of Transportation sends Owen Allison to sort things out, Owen decides to let the phony bus subsidy continue until another body surfaces and Owen fears that he may be the next to die. This Mystery Company edition restores to print the first novel in the Owen Allison series.

Über den Autor

John Billheimer, a native West Virginian, lives in Portola Valley, California. He holds an engineering Ph.D. from Stanford and writes the "funny, sometimes touching," Owen Allison mystery series set in Appalachia's coalfields. The Drood Review voted his first book, The Contrary Blues, one of the ten best mysteries of 1998.

Primary Target is the sixth book in the series. Billheimer has also written Field of Schemes and A Player to be Maimed Later, entries in a mystery series featuring sportswriter Lloyd Keaton, as well as Baseball and the Blame Game, a nonfiction look at scapegoating in the major leagues, and Hitchcock and the Censors, a look at all forms of movie censorship and how Alfred Hitchcock coped with them.
