A strange trip through the Kentucky countryside with a glue-sniffing, skull-cracking, squirrel-hunting private detective by the name of Neil Chambers...

When Chambers is approached by a father who wants to get back his (adult) daughter, he takes the skeptic's view of the case. But he has no idea the chaotic fever dream that he's about to stumble into.

Vicious rednecks, more vicious rich people, crooked sheriffs—Neil will fight them all. F*** solving the case; this is about survival.

Praise for LOVE YOU TO A PULP:

"DeWildt stands alone as a wicked wizard of crime fiction. Love You to a Pulp serves up heart and depravity in equal portions. Bold, brash, and completely original." —Tom Pitts, author of Hustle

"Chris DeWildt is the first honest-to-God heir apparent I've read to the rural noir master Jim Thompson." —Joe Clifford, author of Lamentation

"DeWildt has a tendency to drag his characters, as well as his avid readers, through the most despicable of circumstances, yet with Love You to a Pulp, that tradition lets a little redemption seep in through the cracks. A balance DeWildt handles like a pro. This book is full of masterful imagery from a provocative author at the top of his game, piled high on a bullet train of violence that demands that once you start watching, you don't look away." —Brian Panowich, author of Bull Mountain
