Reviews"A book that starts with an epigraph from D.C. Berman already has me eating out of its hand but then J.D. O'Brien goes and ups the ante. Zig Zag is a cosmic American crime odyssey that's reminiscent of Barry Gifford, James Crumley, Charles Portis, Elmore Leonard, and Charles Willeford. Wild, funny, and entertaining as hell. Capri Dall and Harry Robatore are characters I won't soon forget." -William Boyle, author of Shoot the Moonlight Out , City of Margins , and A Friend is a Gift You Give Yourself "A weed-soaked modern western packed with laugh-out-loud digressions and hard luck characters so real I half-expected to find one sitting on a barstool next to me long after I finished the novel. The kind of offbeat book that I can't wait to loan out to friends." - Duncan Birmingham, author of The Cult In My Garage and writer/director of Who Invited Them

SynopsisCapri Dall has a foolproof plan to knock over the marijuana dispensary where she works. But when her boyfriend botches the heist, the two of them end up in a stolen car with a trunkful of rare high-end weed and an unhinged security guard on their trail. Harry Robatore is a burned out rhinestone cowboy barely scraping by as a bail bondsman. Agreeing to help out an old pal, and settle his bar tab, he sets out to track down the lovers on the run. The chase begins in the San Fernando Valley and leads him deep into the heart of the Mojave Desert - building to an explosive ghost town showdown. Equal parts Elmore Leonard and Charles Portis - with Larry McMurtry's cowboy hat along for the ride - Zig Zag is a stoned odyssey across the dive bars, neon-lit motels, and lost highways of the American West., A botched dispensary heist leaves a pair of young lovers on the run through the Mojave Desert. Equal parts Elmore Leonard and Charles Portis - with Larry McMurtry's cowboy hat along for the ride - Zig Zag is a stoned odyssey across the dive bars, neon-lit motels, and lost highways of the American West.
