THE FURY OF BLACKY JAGUAR by Angel Luis Colón

The premise of this debut novella from my friends at One Eye Press is simple: an ex-IRA hooligan relentlessly pursues the man who stole his 1959 Plymouth Fury.

The hooligan, Danny Clarke, has, over the years, transformed himself into the caricature "Blacky Jaguar". However, Colón doesn't just treat us to Blacky's talk-maim-talk some more tactics. We also see him through the eyes of disgraced FBI agent Linda Chen, his former flame, who shows us there's more to Danny than his façade. That said, she's still pretty hot to put him away.

Fast, fun, and fiery, The Fury of Blacky Jaguar had me hearing Thin Lizzy's "The Boys are Back in Town" as I read. Encore, Angel.
