This is just stunning ... Little short of perfection ... Think
Daniel Woodrell, Bill Beverly and Lou Berney for starters and that
will give you an idea of the style, the range and the humanity of
the novel
*Graham Minett, author of The Hidden Legacy*
A harsh but beautiful thriller that has you cheering under your
breath for its wounded, fallible protagonist throughout
*LoveReading*
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*
a wonderfully evoked and deeply touching work
*The Big Issue*
Michael Farris Smith's prose focuses on small details and has a
rhythm that gives it a poetic quality; a comparison with Annie
Proulx is not overly enthusiastic
*Crime Review*
