Dirty White Boys by Stephen Hunter

Violence, mayhem, more violence, this book is just over flowing with violence.   The interaction between Bud, an Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper, and Lamar, an escaped psychopathic convict, is the main plot of the book.

Lamar has equally depraved sidekicks.   Bud is a very flawed lawman.   The author does a great job in showing how someone can be stellar in one area of their life and spectacularly flawed in the personal life.  

There is never ending action and lots of violence.

It was entertaining but sometimes difficult to read due to amoral aspects of the characters. 

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
