 : Longlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger Award 2017 In the vein of Daniel        :
 : Woodrell's Winter's Bone and the works of Ron Rash, a novel set in a rough :
 : and-tumble Mississippi town where drugs, whiskey, guns, and the desire for :
 : revenge violently intersect For eleven years the clock has been ticking fo :
 : Russell Gaines as he sat in Parchman penitentiary in the Mississippi Delta :
 : His time now up, and believing his debt paid, he returns home only to      :
 : discover that revenge lives and breathes all around. On the day of his     :
 : release, a woman named Maben and her young daughter trudge along the side  :
 : of the interstate under the punishing summer sun. Desperate and exhausted, :
 : the pair spend their last dollar on a motel room for the night, a night    :
 : that ends with Maben running through the darkness holding a pistol, and a  :
 : dead deputy sprawled across the road in the glow of his own headlights.    :
 : With dawn, destinies collide, and Russell is forced to decide whose life h :
 : will save - his own or that of the woman and child? 'Flickers with poetic  :
 : splendour... Repetitions, the falling cadences of country music, phrases   :
 : strung together in long passages of sustained beauty: it's rare for        :
 : desperation to be rendered with such intensity' - Spectator 'Smith depicts :
 : a steamy American South redolent of lawless menace in sparse, simple,      :
 : lyrical prose. He has produced a taut thriller that lays bare the legacy   :
 : that violence leaves behind it, as it builds relentlessly to a dramatic    :
 : climax. You will not be disappointed' - Daily Mail 'Cinema written all ove :
 : it... A particularly good novel if you like whispering 'Sh*t...' in an     :
 : incredulous voice' - Shortlist                                             :
