Description
Set in Prohibition-era Kentucky, this darkly comic crime novel follows Son Martin, a still operator guarding 150 cases of eight-year-old whiskey worth a fortune—and buried somewhere on his property. When an old Army acquaintance and corrupt revenue agent demands a share, Son is drawn into a dangerous struggle with ruthless criminals willing to use intimidation and violence to uncover the stash. Blending sharp dialogue, hard-edged suspense, and offbeat humor, the novel explores greed, betrayal, loyalty, and the unpredictable consequences of trying to keep one step ahead of the law.
