“Brian Panowich stamps words on the page as if they’ve
been blasted from the barrel of a shotgun, and as with a
shotgun blast, no one is safe from the scattered fragments
of history that impale the people of Bull Mountain.”—Wiley
Cash,New York Times-bestselling author of
This Dark Road to Mercy
From a
remarkable new voice in Southern fiction, a
multigenerational saga of crime, family, and
vengeance.
Clayton Burroughs comes from a
long line of outlaws. For generations, the Burroughs
clan has made its home on Bull Mountain in North Georgia,
running shine, pot, and meth over six state lines, virtually
untouched by the rule of law. To distance himself from his
family’s criminal empire, Clayton took the job of sheriff in
a neighboring community to keep what peace he can. But
when a federal agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
and Firearms shows up at Clayton’s office with a plan to
shut down the mountain, his hidden agenda will pit brother
against brother, test loyalties, and could lead Clayton down
a path to self-destruction.
In a
sweeping narrative spanning decades and told from
alternating points of view, the novel brilliantly evokes the
atmosphere of the mountain and its inhabitants: forbidding,
loyal, gritty, and ruthless. A story of family—the lengths
men will go to protect it, honor it, or in some cases
destroy it—Bull Mountain is an incredibly assured
debut that heralds a major new talent in fiction.
