“Franklin renders luminous prose and a cast of compelling characters in this moody, masterful entry.”
Booklist (starred review)
"The classic trifecta of talent, heart, and a bone-deep sense of storytelling….A masterful performance, deftly rendered and deeply satisfying. For days on end, I woke with this story on my mind."- David Wroblewski
"A new Tom Franklin novel is always a reason to get excited, but Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter is more-a cause for celebration. What a great novel by a great novelist."-Dennis Lehane
A powerful and resonant novel from Tom Franklin-critically acclaimed author of Smonk and Hell at the Breech-Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter tells the riveting story of two boyhood friends, torn apart by circumstance, who are brought together again by a terrible crime in a small Mississippi town. An extraordinary novel that seamlessly blends elements of crime and Southern literary fiction, Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter is a must for readers of Larry Brown, Pete Dexter, Ron Rash, and Dennis Lehane.
