Description
Ozark-born and bred Daniel Woodrell is a writer's writer known for his stylish virtuosity as well as his special sense of place. Woodrell's best work yet, this book is an audience-grabbing joyride through the gun-filled, family-feuding, drug-running, lowlife world of Missouri's Redmond clan.My imagination is always skulking about in a wrong place. And now Doyle Redmond, a thirty-five-year-old nowhere writer, has crossed the line between imagination and real, live trouble. On the lam is his soon-to-be-ex-wife's Volvo, he's running a family errand back in his boyhood home of West Table, Missouri -- the bloody heart of the red-dirt Ozarks. The law wants his big brother Smoke on a felony warrant, and Doyle's supposed to talk him into giving up. But Smoke is hunkered down in the hills with his partner, Big Annie, and hernineteen-year-old-daughter, Niagra, making other plans: they're about to harvest a profitable patch of homegrown marijuana.
