Slim's world begins to fall apart one morning when he's informed by his new boss that he can either accept a transfer to New York City - away from his ex-wife and son - or lose his job because of cutbacks within the company. Then, within the next hour, Slim discovers to his dismay that the child he loves so much has just died from drug poisoning.
He blames himself for the unexpected tragedy, but most of all he blames the people who sold his son, Frankie, the bad drugs. When Slim returns to work from the hospital to hand in his resignation, he's shocked to discover that another employee has gone on a wild shooting spree, killing several co-workers.
One unfortunate event swiftly leads to another and the police suddenly think that it was our Texas cowboy doing the actual killing in the office building. Barely escaping with his life, Slim decides that he now has nothing to lose by going after the drug dealers who killed his boy, and he's prepared to do whatever it takes to collect some sweet revenge.
Before the week is over San Francisco is going to find itself in the middle of a bloodbath. SPIDER MOON is a whirlwind of a novel that delivers with in-your-face intensity. Shirley knows how to keep the tension building within the story and the pace moving quickly toward its exploding climax.
Excellent.
