About the Author:
J. Reuben Appelman's crime writing has received "best of" awards by the NYT Book Review, Newsweek, People Magazine, Oprah Daily, Elle, Bustle, USA Today, and dozens of other media outlets. He has written and produced multiple feature documentaries, and executive produced Children of the Snow, the docuseries based on ten years of research for his true-crime memoir, The K*ll Jar, about the Oakland County Child Killings. Appelman is a two-time State of Idaho Literature Fellow, and works as a private investigator.
About THE CHEATING SIDE:
"Appelman writes with soul and swagger. The Cheating Side ignites from the very first page and burns everything in its path. A truly breathtaking read."
―Alex Gansa, creator of Showtime's Homeland series.
When Idaho private investigator Jimmy Chinden's M**der investigation threatens a land deal worth millions, the politically protected Aryan mob comes gunning for his family―but the old money outlaws might be outgunned.
From the cheating side of Boise in Garden City, where Idahoans hide their dirtiest secrets, empty-nesting private investigator Jimmy Chinden is tracking a stolen 1961 Impala when he follows a column of smoke into the sagebrush to discover the vehicle―on fire, and with a body in the trunk.
With a cast of characters evoking Elmore Leonard's society of goons, and a connection to the landscape that is vivid, visceral, and reminiscent of James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux novels, Appelman's The Cheating Side provides a genre-pushing, socially relevant reinvigoration of the American crime novel protagonist, with a challenge to pervasive masculinity tropes and a biting, no-holds-barred attack on the bigotries of the American West.
