Preordered! I am leaning hard into stories like this, because I’m writing one: a guy who’s about to turn 50 in 2022, who decides that the only sensible way to deal why 2022 is to pretend it’s 1972 ... and to try to force his beloved but decaying mill town, about to bow to the forces of soulless gentrification, to do the same. Even if that means piling up a few bodies.
The evils of profit-driven gentrification, especially when it’s pitched as community betterment with no regard for the community members it leaves behind, is one of the great foundations of crime, and crime storytelling, going forward.
It's the focus of the book, yeah. Not only the evils of gentrification but the feeling of being left out or behind, and what that does to people. Thanks, Jim!

I laughed out loud at 'Uncle Phil'
Really looking forward to the latest!
