Fort Worth, 1959. In the Peechie Keen, the jukebox keeps the peace, the cigarette machine keeps the lights on, and Dutch Curridge keeps his eyes open.
When two hard men lean across the bar with a message for someone who isn't there, Dutch thinks it's just another Friday problem-until the city's quiet racket starts moving. A ledger changes hands. A newspaper starts printing the wrong kind of truth. And concern spreads fast in a town that likes its stories simple and its guilt shared.
Dutch isn't a hero. He's a working man who knows what people pay for, what they steal, and what they can't afford to lose. But when the threat stops being talk and becomes a schedule, he has to choose: keep the bar standing-or drag the whole rotten song into the light.
THE BALLAD OF PEECHIE KEEN is the sixth Dutch Curridge Mystery-an atmospheric, barroom-noir crime novel steeped in neon, rain, and Texas grit. New readers can start here, and longtime fans will find the series' moral heartbeat beating loud as ever.
