Gritty, dark and humorous, I Don't Like Where This Is Going is the thrilling, if at times ridiculous follow up to No Regrets, Coyote. (Which I have yet to read.) This novel works very well as a standalone, and while I'm sure I would have benefitted from reading them in order, nothing really caught me off guard.
Wylie 'Coyote' Melville is... An interesting character, he enjoys his drink a little too much, and he's very rough on himself, but he has a good heart. As a character, he stands out as someone I'd love to read about again. As a novel, this... Had its moments. When it's being a noir style detective story it's great, when it's being an all out crime fighter/mob war story, it loses points a little.
