Produktinformationen zu „The Killing Hills “
Klappentext zu „The Killing Hills “
- Perhaps best known for his memoirs and short fiction, The Killing Hills is our second book with Chris Offutt and his third novel. We expect strong review attention for The Killing Hills.
- Set in the same community as Country Dark, the bootleggers of Rowan County have been supplanted by the Oxycontin and heroin runners of today.
- Mick Hardin is a 3-tour veteran working as an Army CID agent who, summoned home by a pregnant wife, returns to the Kentucky hollers just as a woman's body is found in a ravine, and his sister, the newly minted sheriff, turns to him for help. For fans of Daniel Woodrell and Brian Panowich, The Killing Hills is expertly plotted with twists and turns that will keep readers guessing.
- Taut and thrilling, The Killing Hills is top-notch literary writing with the familiar noir edge found in Country Dark. With a cast of bootleggers, gangsters, the warring family clans of the hills, and a corrupt political kingmaker, The Killing Hills is a fast-paced and filmic novel that captures a community often maligned by stereotypes.
- With strains of Ozark and The Devil All the Time, The Killing Hills is a fast-paced and filmic novel that captures a community maligned by stereotypes.
- For fans of Daniel Woodrell and Brian Panowich, The Killing Hills is expertly plotted with twists and turns that will keep readers guessing.
- Offutt's last novel, Country Dark, was a New York Times Editor's Choice and an Indie Next Selection. Offutt's books have earned rave reviews from major media outlets, including The New York Times, New York Times Book Review, Washington Post, Newsday, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, Houston Chronicle, and many others.
- Offutt has been awarded the Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in Fiction, the Lannan Literary Fellowship for Fiction, the Whiting Writers Award for Fiction/Nonfiction, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters Fiction Award, among numerous other honors.
