Bloody Martini

In the second installment of the darkly comedic Felonious Monk series, award-winning author William Kotzwinkle follows Tommy Martini, a Benedictine monk grappling with his anger issues, as he confronts a corrupt Coalville ravaged by underground fires and toxic gas. With a childhood friend murdered and a former love missing, Tommy teams up with a shy acquaintance from his past to uncover the mystery surrounding the town's secrets. As they navigate a landscape filled with vice, drugs, and exploitation, Kotzwinkle’s signature humor illuminates a grim yet engaging portrait of small-town America.
