At BSC we keep it gang mentality (of e-nerd variety if it makes you feel better–I mean it quite literally), so when I saw via twitter (a necessary tool for all self-respecting hooligans) Victor Gischler mention his upcoming book, The Deputy, I just had to note it here. So what is our tie to Gischler? Sure, the Gischler file at BSC is rather extensive, including the Nerd of Noir already reviewing the novel combo-style with Vampire A Go-Go, but I have a rule at BSC that goes like this: You write a Deadpool title, you are crew! Since Gischler plainly does, it’s only right for us to represent (again).
You may have heard about The Deputy awhile back ago, but it after a hiccup it’s at a new publisher

It’s now coming from Tyrus books (with a listed release date of April 1st) who sound like some people I may need to get in contact with (expect my herald–who coincidentally looks and sounds like me, and has the same email), but for the heraldless out there, it’s available now for pre-order on Amazon.
Coyote Crossing is a dusty little shithole town in western Oklahoma. A sleepy little pit stop for truckers, not a lot going on. So a dead body in the middle of the street at midnight is quite an event. The chief of police wants all hands on deck, so he calls Toby Sawyer to come babysit the body.
Toby doesn’t have a lot going for him. Twenty-five, a couple of years of junior college, married to a girl he got pregnant and living in a trailer on the edge of town. He’s working part time for the police department, hoping the budget comes through and they can put him on full time, so he can get health benefits. His wife is a waitress at a little crap diner near the railroad tracks. When he gets the call about the dead body, he pins his tin star to his Weezer t-shirt, slips into a pair of sweatpants and grabs his revolver.
