Galveston by nic pizzolatto5/29/2023 Given how popular the author’s TV show seems to be (based on my Twitter timeline) I find it somewhat surprising the publisher hasn’t accordingly jacked up the price. I figured out a major plot twist about one-third through and have some quibbles with other plot points, but I really enjoyed reading Galveston over the course of a rainy weekend. Although traditionally published, I was pleased to find the Kindle version of Galveston priced at just $2.99 - that’s Indie author/publisher territory which means it fit my budget. I have not seen the show myself, but a TV critic whose column I read highly recommended Galveston so I decided to check it out. So begins Galveston, a fast-paced and stylish crime thriller by Nic Pizzolatto, the creator, writer, and executive producer of the HBO crime series True Detective. The job itself is unremarkable, but when the boss - who has begun sleeping with the woman Cady was seeing - adds the unusual instruction that Cady must be unarmed, the career hardcase knows something is up. The same day Roy Cady is diagnosed with lung cancer, the organized crime enforcer in New Orleans is given a job to do by the boss who inherited his services.
