South Texas Twist Tony Molina

"Toño, just when we start to doubt you, you come through like a government check."

Toño has the room covered and his crew ready: Paco, Rigo, Jay, two locals, a back door, and a ringer. There's a new game with new rules but the same, old problems....



The boys are back. This time, the German-pure evil in a designer -has hired Toño and his crew to deliver a suitcase full of money to the most dangerous villains in Texas. Toño knows this is a setup, but to what end?

EXCERPT:

"That's the Menger Hotel and bar all right. That is where Chiquita killed that dude in the upstairs corner." "I heard she spilled him." "What do you know about spilling, Rigo?" "Paco, I hear things. Toño has done it. Tell him, Toño." "My tio taught me the technique. He said the Japanese used to spill themselves as an honorable death. You need the right blade, longer than my Cold Steel, and you need to use muscle. You drive it in and plunge deep, cut across and up and across again. You better move fast after the last cut, or you will be painted in red. It's like walking with a big-ass bowl of menudo and pouring it on the floor in front of you. You never forget the splat." "You know what, Toño, forget about Mi Tierra. Only you could fuck up my menudo craving."



PRAISE FOR Molina's bestselling debut novel South Texas Drag:

Loved the book! The language and dialogue were spot on. Interesting characters, good, strong plot, and a story that just flowed. I am strangely bonded with the characters. I hope there's a sequel. First effort at writing fiction and it is extremely good. Not only is his story telling accomplished...but the book is also well edited. Suspenseful development of a likable character. Plot twists and ironic turns keeps the reader turning pages. A very good read! I couldn't put it down. This book is filled with suspense as the reader is immersed in the seedy culture of the south border drug trade. The author creates vivid characters who jump to life and keep you on the edge of your seat. Highly recommended! What an absolute blast to read. You can't help but admire and respect this crew of funny, complex, and very real criminals. Tony Molina created vivid imagery with a unique style and masterful use of language. As a fellow Texas LEO, I can see his police background in the writing. I bet those incident reports were fun to read back in the day.
