Thriller
Eight-year-old Rocky worships his older brother
Paul--sixteen and full of rebel cool, smoking cigarettes,
driving around in his Nova blasting Neil Young--until the
day Paul, in an act of vengeance against their father, picks
Rocky up from school and nearly leaves him for dead in the
woods. Paul then runs off with his beautiful, fragile
girlfriend, never to be heard from again. Seven years later Rocky is a teenager himself. Although he’s
never forgotten the abandonment of his boyhood hero, he’s
now getting over it, with the help of the wealthy neighbors’
daughter, ten years his senior, who has taken him as her
lover. But the affair sets off a sequence of events that
bring ruin to both families. In the spirit of Willie Morris, Tom Franklin, and Wiley
Cash, this spellbinding debut draws you into a small-town
American Gothic story of family fealty, scandal, and murder.
