Vietnam vet and former pro football player Wyatt Storme is bow-hunting in Missouri when he stumbles upon a hidden field of marijuana…and is attacked by a vicious dog and shot at by a sniper. He reports violent incident confidentially to the local Sheriff…who is murdered the next day. Storme believes there’s a connection and starts asking questions, unraveling a deadly conspiracy of corruption, … drug-trafficking and organized crime… and making himself someone that just about everybody wants dead.
The first novel in W.L. Ripley’s acclaimed Wyatt Storme series.
“As much joyful bashing as it is ‘Red Harvest’ on uppers, though completely innocent of Hammett’s dark vision. Fighting the good fight has seldom been so much atavistic fun
Kirkus Reviews
“Storme is one of my all-time favorite series characters, up there with Spenser and Dave Robicheaux,” Ace Atkins, NY Times bestselling author of “Robert B. Parker’s Wonderland.”
Originally published under the title “Dreamsicle”

The only down side was the principle characters name, Wyatt (as in Earp) Storme, come on be real unless of course the story is supposed to have come from the young adults section .
This is a great read and the beginning of a good series
Actually, I did not read it through. Too much vulgarity. I don’t think ANY story was EVER improved by the author proving his mastery of the language by speckling the story with vulgarities.
It’s ok haven’t finished. Do not care for the main character
This book did not hold my interest it was boring
Somehow just could’t get into the main character. Maybe because he doesn’t seem to take his job seriously. I’ll try one more.
Easy to read but not that engaging.
could not get interested in plot
