Shutout

by David F. Nighbert

Overview

Molly Flanagan’s Uncle Dewey was eccentric, but he wasn’t crazy. If he was menacing his brothers with his old six-shooter, he must have had a reason, and it didn’t mean he should be institutionalized. But that’s what the family did to Dewey, and it’s why Molly Flanagan and Bull Cochran had to make the long trip from Texas to the Flanagan estate in Knoxville, Tennessee.

About the Author

DAVID F. NIGHBERT was born in Knoxville, Tennessee. He attended the University of Tennessee on a theatre scholarship under Ralph Allen (producer of Broadway's Sugar Babies and Medea). He was one of the founders of the Strand Street Theatre in Galveston, Texas, where he served as actor, director, grant writer and playwright-in-residence. He acted in regional theatre and Off Broadway, where he appeared in an acclaimed production of the Adding Machine at the Lion Theatre. He acted in two recent independent films written and directed by Dan Eberle, Jail City and The Local, the first of which won the Avignon Film Festival award for Best Feature. Five of his books have been published by St. Martin's Press, two science fiction novels (Timelapse and Clouds of Magellan) and three mysteries (Strikezone, Squeezeplay and Shutout). Timelapse was also published in the UK by Headline Books. Both Timelapse and Strikezone earned starred notices in Kirkus Reviews, and his second mystery, Squeezeplay, was a finalist for the Nero Award for the Best American Detective Novel. He also managed the largest and most successful DVD store in New York City at the Tower Records near Lincoln Center until the chain sadly went out of business.

The hardest thing to keep straight at the start of Nighbert's excellent third Bull Cochran mystery (following Squeezeplay) are the names of its lead characters, all brothers: Dewey, Duncan, Donald and Darrell Flanagan.
