Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter
by Tom Franklin
Description
In rural Mississippi, a decades-old mystery resurfaces when a second girl vanishes, reigniting suspicion around Larry Ott—a solitary mechanic haunted by an unsolved disappearance from the late 1970s. Once boyhood friends despite their vastly different circumstances, Larry and Silas "32" Jones were torn apart by tragedy and whispered accusations that neither could escape. Now, with Silas returned to town as a constable and another girl missing, the two men are forced to confront the buried secrets and fractured trust that have defined their lives for over twenty years. Tom Franklin crafts an atmospheric, psychologically complex drama that explores the weight of suspicion, the bonds of friendship, and the impossibility of outrunning the past in a small Southern town. This Edgar Award-winning novel showcases Franklin's masterful storytelling and his gift for creating unforgettable characters caught in the grip of circumstance and consequence.
