“The classic trifecta of talent, heart, and a bone-deep sense of storytelling….A masterful performance, deftly rendered and deeply satisfying. For days on end, I woke with this story on my mind.”
— David Wroblewski
“A new Tom Franklin novel is always a reason to get excited, but
Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter
is more—a cause for celebration. What a great novel by a great novelist.”
—Dennis Lehane
A powerful and resonant novel from Tom Franklin—critically acclaimed author of
Smonk
and
Hell at the Breech
—
tells the riveting story of two boyhood friends, torn apart by circumstance, who are brought together again by a terrible crime in a small Mississippi town. An extraordinary novel that seamlessly blends elements of crime and Southern literary fiction,
is a must for readers of Larry Brown, Pete Dexter, Ron Rash, and Dennis Lehane.
