    John Stralley discusses and signs The Big Both Ways.

    "In this gripping tale of survival, betrayal and murder set in the Pacific Northwest in 1935 from Straley, Slip Wilson is just trying to find work, food and a little justice when he hooks up with a bottle-blonde, Ellie Hobbes, who drags him into her edgy, ragtag life... Straley's beautifully understated narrative, vivid sense of place and unapologetic, unadorned characters make this a riveting, unpredictable ride," said Publishers Weekly. And Booklist called it ""...a rich tale ... part mystery and part action-adventure... Straley hits all the right notes here." Straley's first book, The Woman Who Married A Bear (1993) won the Shamus Award for Best First Mystery. The author has lived in Sitka, Alaska for over 30 years.
