Halfwit conmen Andrew and Bruce live in a vintage VW camper, running from the law in pursuit of their lifelong dream: to move to Paris as a chef and a poet. But their not-so-haute cuisine and poetry are as fauxed-up as their French, which they learn from a cassette tape of insults. All they need is one last scam to make their dreams come true... So when they meet Charlotte, a blind girl with a penchant for pills, they're sure she's the easy mark who will get them to easy street. But the merde hits the fan when they find out this femme fatale has plans of her own. For fans of Carl Hiaasen's Razor Girl and Fredrik Backman's A Man Called Ove, Jonny Effing Lucas' Confrontational French is a madcap tale of friendship, love, and roadkill cuisine.

Al Swearengen (1845-1904) was a notorious pimp, gambler, and degenerate - and those were his finer qualities. At the age of only 17, he was already determined to leave his bloody mark on the world. So when he and his pregnant wife Nettie arrive at the Lost Creek mining camp in the summer of 1862, Al sets his mind to raising a stake for his unborn child. His scheme: hustling prize fights between the locals and his ringer, a runaway slave named Hank. But the camp's brutal boss, Bloody Mary Graves, has no interest in Al or his schemes... unless she can trick him into disposing of the only witness to the murder of her husband. And then there's the problem of how to handle the volatile young Wild Bill Hickok...
