When the phone rings long after midnight, it spells trouble of the lethal kind for Dallas private eye Ed Earl Burch in a gritty and relentless hard-boiled thriller that races from the gleaming towers of Houston to the decadent charms of New Orleans and the stark desert mountains of the Texas Big Bend country and northern Mexico.Burch is a cashiered homicide detective with bad knees, a wounded liver and an empty bank account. He's been hired to protect an old flame after the disappearance of her husband, a high-flying Houston financier who ripped off his clients, including some deeply unsavory gentlemen from New Orleans.It's a simple job that goes wrong fast, plunging Burch into a ruthless contest where nothing and nobody can be trusted. Money and sex tempt him to break his own rules--twin temptations served up by the old flame, a rangy strawberry blonde with a violent temper and a terminal knack for larceny and betrayal.Those New Orleans gentlemen give the game a more murderous edge by sending two hitmen to reclaim their stolen goods and kill anybody involved in the score.Burch also faces an old adversary, Houston homicide detective Cider Jones, a mystic with Comanche blood who blames Burch for his partner's death and wouldn't mind seeing him wind up dead.When his best friend gets murdered in Dallas by hired muscle, Burch blames himself and grimly sets out for vengeance that also delivers a bloody form of redemption.The action is as remorseless and unpredictable as a runaway cement truck, leading to a lonely white chapel in an abandoned mining town on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande.
Jim Nesbitt's first novel, The Last Second Chance, is an award-winning hardboiled thriller that also features Ed Earl Burch, the Dallas PI who has been called "a classic American anti-hero." The book won the best hardboiled mystery category for 2016 from Indie Author Crime Masters and was named a five-star Top Pick by Underground Book Reviews and finalist for their 2017 Novel of The Year competition.
The Right Wrong Number An Ed Earl Burch Novel Jim Nesbitt Books
It has been several years since the events of The Last Second Chance: An Ed Earl Burch Novel and private detective Ed Earl Burch still carries those scars and many more. Many of those scars haunt his dreams and daylight memories often inspired by drinking, smoking, or the way a woman’s hair moved on the lady across the bar. Dangerous women were always his downfall and one of those has crawled back into his life.Her name is Savannah Crowe these days though Ed knew here in every sense possible before she got married. She lives down in Houston and is married to an attorney who does oil and gas partnerships. At least that was what he was supposed to be doing. Apparently he was shady, at best, and now he is dead. No doubt murdered by some guys out of New Orleans who are looking for the money he stole. Savannah wants Ed Earl Burch to come down from Dallas and protect her. Not just from those guys out of New Orleans, as the cops are also pushing hard at her thinking she killed her own husband, and there might be some other players as well.
Sure she can hire the best attorney in Texas, a certain man by the name of Racehorse Haynes, but having the money to do that is not enough. A lot more than she has is missing because he husband stole it. Savannah wants Ed Earl Burch to find her husband---the body left in the flaming wreckage wasn’t positively identifiable--- or the guys who killed him. If he can find either party, the money should also turn up.
Being broke thanks to a downturn in business as the economy improves under President Clinton means Ed Earl Burch is already in a bind before his attorney pushes him hard. His attorney concocted an elaborate evidentiary pyramid to keep his rear end out of prison at the cost of 20k plus and is calling everything due and payable now. He can’t pay so the prison option and far worse things are back on the table. He has other money trouble as well. While Savannah is willing to offer far more than money to Ed Earl Burch for coming down and helping out, all he wants is money with at least half of his fee upfront to stave out the attorney. She’s trouble, but she can pay the bucks and he needs the bucks desperately.
Before long he is down in Houston and all hell is breaking loose. The case will lead him across Texas to a little place just down south of Big Bend in Northern Mexico for a final showdown to settle lots of scores.
The Right Wrong Number: And Ed Earl Burch Novel is a sequel of sorts to The Last Second Chance. Sequel in terms of the characters, grudges held, and memories that haunt the living as more than one character from the first book appears here as the point of view shifts throughout the read. That means it is very important to have read that book first before taking on this read.
Readers should also be aware that, as they were in the first, graphic language and descriptions in terms of sexuality as well as plenty of violence are present in this read. This is a hard hitting and graphic crime fiction read written in a noir style. Therefore, the full range of language is used and a substantial portion of it is graphic in terms of description regarding sexual situations, violent actions, motivations of others, etc. as the read shifts in point of view. Those point of view shifts are very frequent by way of a number of characters throughout the book while maintaining a fast paced and often violent flow of action.
A read that powers along with plenty of action while providing some serious as well as funny social commentary, The Right Wrong Number: An Ed Earl Burch Novel is another mighty good read from author Jim Nesbitt. Both books are highly recommended. The third book in the series is underway according to a recent comment on Facebook by the author.
An ARC was supplied by the author’s publicist, Maryglenn McCombs, a long time ago for my use to read and review.

The Right Wrong Number An Ed Earl Burch Novel Jim Nesbitt Books Reviews
Jim Newbury is an exceptional novelist. His story is full of gore and sex and extremely interestingly written. His descriptions makes one feel that you are there. The rodeo event in the Houston Astrodome is a great example.
i read the author's previous novel with Ed Earl and loved it, and I thought the follow up was equally compelling. Nesbitt is a gifted writer and the plot moves quickly but not predictably ... both these books are page turners full of larger than life flawed characters who you might run into at any given honky tonk off the freeway off ramp in Texas. Loved it.
deep in the heart of texas hardboiled noir at it's best jim nesbitt is one of the best authors in the genre loved spillane vachss crumley now jim is at top of the foodchained the right wrong number is the right book for me and ex cop turned p.i ee burch is thee man
The Right Wrong Number is a wonderful tale of delightfully seed characters. Violence, sex and an unpredictable tale make this work a real page turner. Ed Earl Burch is a down on his luck former cop turned private investigator who needs the biz, which only leads to him becoming more involved in this multidimensional tale. Grab your copy, you're going to like it!
He's not Superman, but the way he battles the odds against him (and those around him) make this a very satisfying novel. If it can go south, it will - and although at times it looks bleak, Burch makes it happen in his favor. Well written, great pace, sizzling atmosphere - looking for more in this series!
Ed Earl Burch is a not-quite washed up Texas cop turned PI with a notch collection on his bedpost and bad knees. In debt to a shyster, he takes a job to find out what happened to an old girlfriend’s husband. Not surprisingly trouble ensues, wrapped in a great mystery plotline. Ed’s world is crude and rude and he punches through it with a pack of Lucky Strikes and a glass of Kentucky bourbon. A brisk pace, sliding points of view, shades of gray crooks, and dialogue spit out of the corners of everybody’s mouth make this series a real gem for hardboiled genre fiction fans.
I have problems with flash backs and found myself rereading several pages at multiple locations to get and keep.the gist of the story. one loose end was not secured but the plot wound to a good conclusion. I dont think there could be a DOUBLE E replay.
