South Texas Tangle

Texas State Trooper Dan Henning's routine traffic stop takes a turn when the driver flees, leaving behind a van full of cash. As Henning faces unexpected threats to his family, the driver, Jimmy Ireno, scrambles in Corpus Christi with a wild plan to reclaim the money, all while evading criminals and police alike. "South Texas Tangle" is a crime saga echoing Elmore Leonard and Donald Westlake, blending high stakes, humor, and a dash of danger.

About the Author: T.K. O'Neill
T.K. O’Neill's hardboiled detective novel Jackpine Savages, available in trade paperback and ebook formats, was recently named a National Indies Excellence Award Finalist. His crime/noir story of an ill-fated ex-boxer, Fly in the Milk, was published as an ebook in 2012 by Bluestone Press.

He has also authored three books under the pseudonym Thomas Sparrow.:
- Northwoods Pulp: Four Tales of Crime and Weirdness
- Fatally Flawed
- Northwoods Standoff

The critically regarded novel Social Climbing, one of the Northwoods Pulp stories, was also published by Japanese publisher Fushosha. Its Japanese title is roughly translated as "Fang of Winter."
When the driver of the aging conversion van he just pulled over rabbits off into the brush, Texas State Trooper Dan Henning knows there must be something of value hidden in the vehicle.

A quick search turns up a mountain of cash poorly hidden behind the wall paneling. But someone's found money is someone else's lost money, and before long, an odd pair of alleged awning salesmen pays Henning's wife a visit. Now the trooper finds himself back in a Gulf War state of mind and liking it.

Meanwhile, the van's driver, former high school basketball start Jimmy Ireno, has stolen a pickup truck and made his way to Corpus Christi, where he enlists the aid of some locals in implementing a bizarre and desperate plan to recover the cash and save his own hide, all the while dodging three organized crime dudes, the cops and his own proclivities.

South Texas Tangle follows the tradition of Elmore Leonard and Donald Westlake.
