A Mysterious Review of Over Their Heads by J. B. Kohl and Eric Beetner.
Review summary: This is a most interesting crime novel with some dark comedic elements to it. Crisply written from the points of view of four characters, the story moves along briskly but then tends to drag a little towards the end before being rapidly wrapped up in a slightly too tidy manner. Even so, the journey is well worth taking. (Click here for text of full review.)

Publisher synopsis: The drugs are missing and four lives are about to collide …
Clyde just wanted to make a little extra cash on the side to raise his new baby. Now his life and the lives of his wife and newborn daughter are in jeopardy.
Brent just wanted to do his job and be left alone. Now he's in a race against time for his life.
Sean just wanted to escape the crime he committed in Detroit. Now he's stumbled into another. The money he embezzled is nothing compared the load of narcotics that fell into his lap.
And Skeeter? Well, Skeeter wants the drugs back, and he'll use any means necessary to get them.
When these four are let loose on a mad scramble to locate the drugs, they cut a path of mayhem and bloodshed across Virginia. Inept would-be criminals clash with ruthless drug dealers in a violent weekend where no one is safe.
The only certainty: Everyone is in over their heads.
