FORTH DOWN AND OUT

ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS

Fourth Down and Out by Andrew Welsh - Huggins grabs the reader from the first page and doesn’t let go until the ball has crossed the goal line. The P.I. story features Andy Hayes, a somewhat infamous and reviled private eye in Columbus, Ohio, and the reader doesn’t know why. However, it has something to do with football, a massive deal in Ohio. Fourth Down and Out involves a missing laptop and 4 or 5 people looking for it for various reasons ranging from marital infidelity to financial shenanigans. The book moves quickly as the writer paints a vivid picture of Columbus and its distinctive characters. Welsh-Huggins has written many Andy Hayes mysteries, and I recommend that readers start with Fourth Down and Out and continue until the end of his back list.
