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.
