Jimmy Veeder has finally settled down, completing his dramatic transformation from hell-raiser to family man. With his new wife, Angie, and eight-year-old son, Juan, he lives the quiet life. No trouble, no problems.
Or so he thought. But this is Jimmy Veeder’s Fiasco, after all.
The night after his wedding, Jimmy is lured right back into a world of danger and mayhem when childhood friend Tomás Morales, the current crime lord of Mexicali, turns up on his doorstep offering information about the whereabouts of his son’s grandfather, for whom Jimmy has been searching for years.
Jimmy and Angie head to Mexico—one part honeymoon, one part expedition to find Juan’s grandfather—accompanied by old pals Bobby Maves and Griselda.
The trip immediately careens into chaos when they find themselves shadowed by thugs, shot at by cartel soldiers, and forced into a confrontation with a violent, volatile drug lord. The fight spreads from Sinaloa back to Jimmy’s doorstep, putting everything Jimmy cares about directly in the crosshairs.

Johnny Shaw was born and raised on the Calexico/Mexicali border, the setting for his award-winning Jimmy Veeder Fiasco series, which includes the novels Dove Season and Plaster City. He is also the author of the Anthony Award–winning adventure novel Big Maria and the urban-crime novel Floodgate. His shorter work has appeared in Thuglit, Crime Factory, Blood & Tacos, Shotgun Honey, Plots with Guns, and numerous anthologies. Johnny lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife, artist Roxanne Patruznick.
“Shaw’s lively third mystery featuring Jimmy Veeder (after 2014’s Plaster City) finds the former wild man into hardscrabble farming and family in southernmost California....Shaw celebrates the spirit he finds in small towns, where friends are family, as he brings this amusing riff on The Magnificent Seven to a riotous, shoot-’em-up climax.” —Publishers Weekly
“[An] outstanding novel from the get-go!” —Night Owl Reviews
