David Joy
(Putnam, hd. 26.95)
Jacob McNeely’s father is a notorious drug dealer, and since Jacob was a ten-year old, he’s been groomed to take part in the family business. But when the witness he was charged with disposing of turns up alive, Jacob’s foray into organized crime gets off to a rocky start. KW
“…lyrical, propulsive, dark and compelling. In this debut novel, David Joy makes it clear that he knows well the grit and gravel of his world, the soul and blemishes of the place. He uses details that put us inside the picture, and lets his narrative move at a graceful but restless pace.”- Daniel Woodrell, author of Winter’s Bone and The Maid’s Version
