Morgan Greer tells us he's no great detective, just a small-town hack. But as this thoroughly engaging story unfolds, one local sleazeball after another discovers that Greer's a lot better than he thinks. Greer and his creator, Harris Tobias, are savvy players in one of American literature's classic genres. <br /><br />Brian Donovan, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist &amp; author of &quot;Hard Driving: The American Odyssey of NASCAR's First Black Driver.
