Jake is a police detective in New York City. He's half-Vietnamese, half-Jewish, and completely troubled. Jake left his hometown of Buckskill Falls in upstate New York ten years earlier, swearing he'd never return. But he's forced to go back when his father dies, and remains there after his best friend from high school, Richie, is murdered. Complicating matters is Jake's previous, intense relationship with Charlotte-Anne, Richie's beautiful, beguiling, and possibly dangerous widow. Jake's investigation into Richie's murder also sets him on a collision course with the psychotic and sadistic James "Nitro" Nitrowski, once Jake's high school nemesis and now a corrupt police officer. As Jake uncovers long-buried secrets and learns how little he really knew of what went on in high school, he begins to see ghostly visions of a long-dead classmate. Could her mysterious suicide ten years ago on graduation night have something to do with Richie's murder? Set in the 1980s and 90s and touching on issues including sexual harassment, bullying, racism, and homophobia, No Time For Bullshit updates the classic hard-boiled detective novel without losing any of the qualities that make that genre so enduring.
