Up against a rust-belt crime boss, former football hero Bollo looks to a local detective to stay alive, solve a crime and win back his wife.

In a small town, everything is personal. Bollo had been a star, a football hero where that meant everything. But sometimes heroes peak too soon. Sometimes the downside is a rough ride. Now, up against a rust-belt crime boss, Bollo looks to a local detective to stay alive, solve a crime and win back his wife."Dog Hills" by Jashlock on Ganxy

About the Author

Michael Hogan, a refugee from those big cities back east where, in his youth, he lawyered, partied, read everything, wrote novels and screenplays (one produced with Danny Aiello), painted portraits and all but wore himself out, now lives with his wife of ten years in Lakewood, Ohio, a quiet suburb west of Cleveland. He’s published two novels: Man Out Of Time (Random House) and Burial of the Dead, an IndieNext selection (St. Martins –Thomas Dunne Books). Both were critically acclaimed, described by Booklist as “witty and irreverent, Hogan’s offering makes you hope he has more stories to tell”, and by David Maine as “an impressively vicious, disorienting fever-dream that’ll keep you guessing–and most of the time your guesses will be wrong.” His two new novels, Dog Hills and Sistine, are available now from The Rogue Reader.
