After the amazing debut that Cosby dropped in 2020 in Blacktop Wasteland, I was curious as to how this was going to stack up against it. I should have never questioned Cosby’s ability to create a story worthy of the New York Times Bestsellers list as this is an amazing sophomore release.
Ike Randolph and Buddy Lee Jenkins could not have been any more different. One is a former convicted felon turned lawn maintenance company owner and the other is a run down on his luck hillbilly criminal with an alcohol problem. They are forced to earn each other’s friendship on the path to finding the truth to what happened to their sons. There is no amount of pain and heartache these two are willing to endure to find those responsible and I absolutely loved it!
Cosby delivers another truly authentic and violent story about life that will leave you crying, and wishing you were fighting with Ike and Buddy Lee. The language is harsh, just like life has treated the men in this adventure. The violence is unbelievable and justified, sparing no one from the wrath of two fathers hell bent on justice. The story follows a trend that is common in America in contemporary times, one that needs to be challenged and righted, as the people that are being attacked, verbally and physically daily because of differences. Cosby brings a lot of emotion, offensive and defensive, enabling every reader to feel the mayhem, the hate, and most importantly the love that every man should have for one another.
