About this title

Review:

Praise for The Final Country:

‘This is an extraordinary double-barrelled blast from a lost era. It’s a two-fisted epic of Texan treachery, packed to the gunwales with sex, drugs, booze and guns...' John Williams, Independent

‘Lyrical, liberal, exciting and humane. Sexy, too, with a generosity that transcends taste and as violent as needs be’ Literary Review

‘This complex thriller is so hardboiled it makes Ellroy and Connelly read like Simon and Garfunkel... it’s good. Very good’ Jim Driver, Time Out

'He combines the spare tautness of the best private eye novels with lyrical descriptions of an almost vanished West' Marcel Berlins, The Times

'A ripsnorting, cocaine and bourbon-fuelled ride through Texas in the company of Milo Mildragovitch' TJ Binyon, Evening Standard
