MEMPHIS RIBS
Book ID/图书代码： 02335016B87554
English Summary/英文概要： It’s May in Memphis, and four bloody murders occur on the eve of the International BBQ Contest and the Cotton Carnival: a conventioneer is stabbed at an ATM machine, a gang leader and his girlfriend are executed, and a wealthy local businessman is killed in his own home while his bodyguard is napping outside the door. It’s up to homicide detective J.W. Ragsdale to solve these seemingly unconnected crimes without scaring away the tourists who are arriving in droves. That’s not going to be easy. Ragsdale’s investigation pits him against a crack-dealing gang in the midst of a bloody drug war, a Memphis BBQ king struggling to hold on to his crumbling empire, a shotgun-wielding assassin, an East Coast mobster with a taste for BBQ and the blues, and the newly crowned Maid of Cotton, who will do anything to keep her tiara.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 孟菲斯的五月，四个血淋淋的谋杀案发生在国际烧烤大赛和棉花狂欢节前夕：一个会议代表在ATM机上被捅了一刀，一个黑帮头目和他的女朋友被处决，一位当地富有的商人在保镖在门外午睡的间隙被杀害在自己家。凶杀案侦探J.W. 拉格斯代尔要在没有吓走陆陆续续到来的游客的前提下，解决这些看似无关的罪行。这将不容易。拉格斯代尔的调查让他在一次血腥的毒品战争中与一个毒品交易团伙发生战斗，孟菲斯BBQ大王奋力支撑他摇摇欲坠的帝国，挥舞着猎枪的刺客，一个带着BBQ和蓝调味道的东海岸匪徒，还有会做任何事来保持自己的王冠的新加冕的科顿女佣。(LNL)

“With his unerring ear for dialect, and his artful filleting of the Delta social order…Gerald Duff slow-roasts a tangy tale of murder, gang warfare, crack cocaine, and barbecue.” –Entertainment Weekly
“Duff tells it with gusto and humor. And when it comes to describing the flavor of barbecue as well as the sights and sounds of a festival, Duff gives Calvin Trillin a run for his money. Duff’s also got the local dialect and dialogue down cold…” –Publishers Weekly

“Gerald Duff has a great ear for dialect and a wickedly accurate knowledge of the Delta social system.” -Madison Smartt Bell
