Shoot the Messenger
A novel of consequence and reckoning
Shoot the Messenger is vintage Yancey Williams — hot-wired, spirited fiction populated by characters who run the full range from unsavory to loveable, each chasing an exotic misadventure all their own.
Williams writes with a freshly stated realism and a creative zest that leaves the reader wanting more. The result is pure, organic, flavorful storytelling that lingers on the nervy, restless side of the palate — not powder-puff, never namby-pamby.
It is, as the author likes to say, the darker side of Macbeth from the other side of the Moon: moxie with zing, because moxie matters.
What to expect
Intricate, uninhibited prose; characters spelled out with unapologetic gusto; and a story that tiptoes up to the improbable and keeps right on going.
