Monica Brashears: Lonesome Holler, Gebunden

Klappentext

From the author of the acclaimed novel House of Cotton comes an electric, haunting new Southern noir following the residents of Better Tomorrow trailer park in the aftermath of a gruesome murder.
When the body of hated landlord Joe Candle is found nailed to a cross in the middle of Better Tomorrow trailer park, the police have one question for the park's eccentric residents: Who killed Candle?

But the residents of Better Tomorrow have secrets of their own, and Candle's death feels like the least of their worries.

The arrival of a mysterious lone detective investigating the crucifixion throws the residents for a loop while the rise of satanic panic grips the county. As bodies continue to drop, the residents' veneers begin to crack. What misdeeds hide in Valentine's mysterious past? Who did Sissy see cloaked in shadows the night before the discovery of Candle? Are Earl and Scooter damned from the start? Will Miss Mae and Samson hold onto their land by any means necessary? What happens beyond the shroud of trees on House Mountain?

When the unraveling of these questions threatens the very existence of Better Tomorrow, the community is tested to its breaking point.
