About this Article

Bartender Shad Myers doesn't just listen to the troubles that tourists and locals bring into his thatch-roofed bar — he sets out to fix them himself, no matter the risk. The troubles that find Shad in Gillian Royes' novel "The Man Who Turned Both Cheeks" seem better suited to pastors and law enforcement authorities. Since Shad is only an "unofficial sheriff," as he thinks of himself, Royes is freed from the police procedural formulas that can weigh down some mystery novels.
