From the Publisher
"Dan Woodrell does for the Ozarks what Raymond Chandler did for Los Angeles."—Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times
"A shimmering novel, rich with insight...a pleasure... Zooms on the rocket fuel of Woodrell's explosively original language."—The Washington Post Book World
"Woodrell's storytelling is as melodic, jangly and energetic as a good banjo riff.... Sammy Barlach's story is a tragedy, but the telling of it is a pleasure."—Valerie Sayers, The New York Times Book Review
