One of my all time favorite shows is Gunsmoke. You know it was a radio show long before it was on TV right? I still think Matt Dillon is hott, and the slightly risque Miss Kitty is all that and then some.
A few days ago, I listened to a few chaptersThe Capo’s Mistress by Richard Harris. It’s Harris’ first novel, and he’s offering a free audio download until April 27th, when the hardcopy will be available. Now, the hero of the book is another MD, in the person of Mike Driscoll, an alcoholic ex-cop with a soft spot for a pretty face. The beautiful lady in this case is not Miss Kitty, but Mary Carter. She’s run a-foul of the Mob in Las Vegas, and Mike valiantly tries to get her out of a jam. The book is fun in a campy sort of way, and the character development is pretty good. I felt like I had a good grasp of the main characters by the middle of chapter two.
So what does Ron Jeremy have to do with anything? I’m not telling. You’ll have get the book to find out. You can pre-order The Capo’s Mistress at Amazon, or download The Capo’s Mistress for free until April 27.
