Bounty hunter Frank Knott and his new sidekick come face to face with death-threatening odds as they track down hardened killers and crooks across three states. Frank feels somebody is trying to rid the earth of his shadow, but his fearless guardian won't let that happen. Epperson doesn't waste words on scenery, unless it's the landscape of truck stops, roadhouses and neon-lit strip joints. Where the book does score is in the rugged, stripped down prose and constant action. Frank Knott doesn't do moral musing or soul searching. His black and white, high contrast vision of the world around him might send a shudder up the spines of politically correct readers, but it suits the breakneck speed of the narrative and the clever plot twists. ... I enjoyed the bounty hunter's battles with the lowlifes of Texas and Georgia, and look forward to his next appearance. - -CrimeFictionLover.com "Chasing bad guys" is a natural sequel to Frank Knott's indomitable but rather lonely occupation of tracking criminals on the run from justice. What better partner for Frank than to team him up with a sidekick who always has his back - a fearless, loyal and ever-alert Doberman that's all business when on duty.

This is author Wayne Epperson's second novel in the Frank Knott crime/adventure series. Chasing bad guys is the sequel to Crime and Corruption in Texas.
