Taylor Press is pleased to announce the arrival of "Failure Drill" by James Tarr. Normally we're don't "do" novels here at Taylor Press, but James Tarr's real-life experience as a policeman and private investigator in Michigan and his irreverent, Gen-X style won us over. In "Failure Drill" Tarr blends bits of the American gun culture with movie and pop-cultural references in a very entertaining way. On top of his law enforcement experience, Tarr is a master-level competition shooter, with an interest in practical 3-Gun shooting -- a background that lends unusual technical clarity to his work. "Failure Drill" explores various themes of interest to Taylor Press, but the philosophical underpinnings of the book were what sold us on it. If you have an interest in the extraordinary capabilities of young men, the just use of force, firearms, and the expression of those ideas in modern movies, get your copy now. SYNOPSIS: "Failure Drill" tracks what happens to John Phault, a former DEA agent working as a private investigator in Detroit. Phault takes a missing persons case as a favor to a friend, and his relatively sedate life disintegrates. Every time he turns around someone else is trying to kill him, and the more he looks for 20-year-old Jerry Phillips, the more questions he has about why this honor student would arm himself to the teeth and then just disappear. |
