Frank Ford is a survivor of 10 long years at the Metropole Bar, where he's babysitter and alcohol dealer to Zenith City's derelict class: the misfits, the losers, the crazies, the old fading lushes, and, of course, the budding young alcoholics unaware or indifferent to what lies ahead.

Produktbeschreibung
Frank Ford is a survivor of 10 long years at the Metropole Bar, where he's babysitter and alcohol dealer to Zenith City's derelict class: the misfits, the losers, the crazies, the old fading lushes, and, of course, the budding young alcoholics unaware or indifferent to what lies ahead. We first see Frank in the aftermath of his little brother's funeral. Ray was an addict and a constant irritant. Forgotten, is how Frank wanted to remember Ray. The police, who also lost no love for Ray Ford, are leaning towards a verdict of suicide for the swollen, pulpy body that washed ashore near the port terminal. Frank thinks it was murder, but he's willing to let it ride. His grieving mother has other ideas. Set in 1977, Dive Bartender: Sibling Rivalry combines elements of David Goodis and Raymond Chandler with the popular culture of the era to form a pulp novel of sex, drugs, violence and smelt fishing.

Autorenporträt
Thomas Keith (T.K.) O'Neill has been writing since his college years, having been inspired by his creative writing professor, Harry "Doc" Davis. He grew up in Duluth, Minnesota, the son of school teachers, and attended both Arizona State University and the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD). In his early professional writing years, Thomas was a sports reporter and founder and editor of a regional arts and entertainment monthly, which was seed for some of his early fictional characters. He is the author of several crime noir and hardboiled novels and short stories, including Fly in the Milk, Dead Low Winter, South Texas Tangle, Jackpine Savages, Dive Bartender: Sibling Rivalry and Northwoods Pulp Reloaded. An ardent outdoorsman and angler, O'Neill and his family live in Minnesota.
