There's an October chill in the air. A presidential election is coming up. Covid is spreading, and everybody's wearing a mask. And in the burned-out industrial city of Canaan, demonstrations turn violent as radicals clash with police.

In the midst of it all is Bonnie Parker, a small-town PI on the Jersey Shore, who's reputed to moonlight as an assassin when the need arises. For nearly four years, Bonnie's kept her head down and her hands clean, but that may be about to change, as she finds herself targeted by the activist group Red Front, a disgruntled local hitman, and a neo-Nazi "fixer" who remembers his past lives. Stir in a posse of homeless grifters and their psychopathic dog, add a conspiracy stretching from the newly formed Revolutionary Occupied Zone to the mansions of Cherry Heights, and top it off with the mother of all hangovers ...

It's enough to make a girl want to shoot somebody – or at least pour herself another drink.

Hair of the Dog is a 70,000 word thriller from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Michael Prescott, whose books have sold more than three million copies worldwide.
